Description

The Rising Ireland, Easter 1916 by Fearghal McGarry This book tells the story of the Easter Rising of 1916 from the perspective of those who made it. It focuses on the experiences of rank and file revolutionaries, exploring their motives, concerns, and aspirations. A unique collection of over 1,700 eye-witness statements provides new insights into this pivotal period in Irish history. The Great War played a significant role in catalyzing the uprising, and McGarry examines how ordinary people from backgrounds became politicized and involved in the struggle for Irish independence. The book concludes by looking at the revolutionary aftermath, which ultimately led to the creation of the independent state we see today. Published to mark the centenary of the Easter Rising, this edition includes a new preface reflecting on the ongoing importance of the event as a symbol of Irish nationhood and its commemoration in both Ireland and the UK.
