Born in Scotland in 1868 to Irish immigrant parents, Connolly spent most of his adult life organizing for labor unions and socialist organizations in Ireland, Scotland, and the United States. Despite attending school for only a few years, Connolly became a leading socialist writer and theoretician, founding and editing newspapers including \u003cem\u003eThe Socialist\u003c\/em\u003e (Scotland), \u003cem\u003eThe Harp\u003c\/em\u003e (United States), and \u003cem\u003eThe Workers' Republic\u003c\/em\u003e (Ireland). As a labor organizer, Connolly stressed the importance of direct action, broad working-class unity, and a commitment to ending labor's exploitation. As a socialist agitator, Connolly saw economic and political independence as inextricably intertwined. This pamphlet, the first graphic treatment of Connolly's life, is issued on the centenary of the Easter Rising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor\u003cb\u003e Paul Buhle\u003c\/b\u003e, formerly a senior lecturer at Brown University, founded the SDS journal\u003ci\u003e Radical America\u003c\/i\u003e and the archive Oral History of the American Left.
