On Easter Monday, between 1,000 and 1,500 Irish Volunteers and
members of the Irish Citizen Army seized the General Post Office
and other key locations in Dublin. The intention of their leaders,
including Patrick Pearse and James Connolly, was to end British
rule in Ireland and establish an independent thirty-two county
Irish republic. For a week battle raged in the Irish capital until
the Rising collapsed. The rebel leaders were executed soon
afterwards, though in death their ideals quickly triumphed.
lluminating every aspect of that fateful Easter week, The Easter
Rising is based on an impressive range of original sources. It has
been fully revised, expanded and updated in the light of a wealth
of new material and extensive use has been made of almost 2,000
witness statements that the Bureau of Military History in Dublin
gathered from participants in the Rising. The result is a vivid
depiction of the personalities and actions not just of the leaders
on both sides but the rank and file and civilians as well. The book
brings the reader closer to the events of 1916 than has previously
been possible and provides an exceptional account of a city at war.
