Description
The Easter Rising of 1916 was a pivotal moment in Ireland's turbulent history. For those who fought on its streets, the conflict was a brutal and exhausting clash between professional army forces and highly motivated volunteers. During the days following the clock striking on April 24, 1916, the combatants endured a mix of intense fighting and prolonged waiting periods, with limited supplies of food and water, and little chance to rest. The terror of imminent attacks hung over them, adding to their already dire circumstances. This book offers a detailed account of this pivotal event, shedding light on the experiences of those who fought in the Easter Rising.
