Michael O'Hanrahan: A Life of Passion and Principle Conor Kostick's biography brings to life a man whose quiet exterior belied a burning desire for Irish independence. Born into a Republican family, Michael O'Hanrahan was instrumental in setting up the Gaelic League in Carlow and helped found a workingman's club that later admitted a British soldier. As he moved to Dublin, O'Hanrahan played important roles in both Sinn Fein and the Irish Volunteers, serving as quartermaster for the latter. His involvement in the procurement of arms used in the Easter Rising is well-documented. A talented journalist and novelist, his life was cut short by execution in 1916. This biography sheds new light on a man who helped launch the 1916 Rising, revealing the complexities and contradictions of O'Hanrahan's life.
