{"product_id":"the-irish-tricolour","title":"The Irish Tricolour","description":"This nationally important book reveals the untold story of the Irish tricolour: its true origins, a forgotten heroine, and the emblems it replaced. For the first time, a fully referenced history corrects long-standing myths and slurs surrounding Ireland’s national flag. It also reinterprets iconic Irish symbols — from the harp and shamrock to the tri-spiral — placing them within the broader journey toward Irish nationhood and national identity. Along Ireland’s road to a republic, key figures are restored to their rightful place — from Owen Roe O’Neill and Wolfe Tone to Thomas Meagher and Padraig Pearse.   The book explores crucial turning points — the rise of green as Ireland’s colour, the rebellions of 1642, 1798, 1848, and 1916, Catholic Emancipation, and the flag’s later use — and misuse. A bold, insightful retelling of Ireland’s story through its symbols.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507875586421,"sku":"9781837054671","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-irish-tricolour","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
