1916 Easter Rising - Pictorial Guide
Precio habitual €7.99The Easter Rising of 1916 stands as one of the most significant events in modern Irish history. For Britain, fighting for its survival on the battlefields of the First World War, it was an unexpected and unwanted diversion, to be quickly and mercilessly crushed. Yet Pearse, Connolly and the comparatively small group of rebels who took up arms, knew that they were fighting not only for control of their nation’s capital but also the future of the Irish people.
This pictorial history offers an overview of the background, course and aftermath of the Easter Rising. Incorporating short biographies of the most important Rebel figures, it tells the story of the intense fighting that broke out in Dublin during the last week of April 1916 and the executions that followed.
