The Easter Rebellion 1916: A New Illustrated History

This truly unique and riveting exploration of the 1916 Easter Rising gathers iconic photographs, manuscripts, personal notebooks, letters of insurgents and civilians, and political cartoons from the extraordinary revolutionaries themselves. By looking at some of the lesser-known dimensions, such as the role of Ireland's revolutionary women, the experience of the civilian population, and personal papers of ordinary volunteers, this sympathetic study does not obscure the grim realities of political violence. Color illustrations throughout.
