Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Ninety years on, the definitive account of the events that changed Irish history forever.
Charles Townshend s remarkable new book vividly recreates this extraordinary time when, as Irish insurgents rose up and occupied Dublin, as British artillery retaliated ferociously and flattened the city centre, as the last haggard rebels surrendered and their leaders were shot, a powerful narrative was created and Ireland was launched into a new world. This is the powerful story of events whose repercussions we still feel today.
