History revisited as the ‘Atlas of the Revolution’ hits television screens

President Michael D Higgins and his wife, Sabina Higgins, arrive at the preview screening of the Irish Revolution documentary at Cork Opera House last night. The three-part documentary, narrated by Cillian Murphy, will be screened on RTÉ 1 on February 4, 11 and 18, at 9.30pm.

The enormous 5kg publication, which was Irish Book Of The Year in 2017, covers the story of the revolution as it played out across all 32 counties, including hundreds of images and maps.
