Easter 1916: The Irish Rebellion by Charles Townshend

A new account of the Easter Rising, a pivotal moment in Irish history that changed the course of the country's future. Before the rising, Dublin was a city like many others in Britain, but the devastating events of that Easter changed everything. The rebellion itself, and the British response that followed, ended any sense of home rule and cemented Dublin's status as the capital of an independent country.

This gripping narrative explores what the rebels hoped to achieve, how the British viewed their actions, and how ordinary people across Ireland interpreted the events. Townshend's vivid and authoritative account sheds new light on a pivotal moment in Irish history.
