Description
The Rising (New Edition) Ireland: Easter 1916 by Fearghal McGarry This new edition of The Rising provides fresh insights into one of Ireland's most pivotal moments, the Easter Rising of 1916. Drawing from over 1,700 eye-witness statements, Fearghal McGarry sheds light on the experiences of ordinary people who became involved in the struggle for Irish independence. The book explores how people from everyday backgrounds were politicized and motivated to take part in the uprising, highlighting the significant role of the Great War as a catalyst. McGarry's work offers a nuanced understanding of this complex period, revealing the aspirations, concerns, and actions of those who played a key part in shaping Ireland's future. This edition includes a new preface reflecting on the enduring significance of the Easter Rising as a symbol of Irish nationhood, set against the backdrop of the 2016 centenary commemorations.
