Description
The Easter Rising is THE seminal event in Irish nationalism and one of the key turning points in Irish History. No event captures the imagination as this does. It is a story populated by idealists, poets, union activists and soldiers.
In this short history, John Dorney tackles the complex happenings of the event itself and, by putting the conflict in context, offers a lucid explanation of the passions and motives that drove Irishmen into arms against Britain when their fellow Irishmen fought on the fields of Flanders in British uniforms.
