Specificatii
When the outbreak of World War I (1914-1918) delayed home rule for
Ireland, a faction of Irish nationalists - the Irish Republican
Brotherhood - decided to take direct action and infiltrated a
number of other nationalist and militia outfits.On Easter Monday
1916, whilst armed men seized key points across Dublin, a rebellion
was launched from the steps of the General Post Office (GPO) and
Patrick Pearse proclaimed the existence of an Irish Republic and
the establishment of a Provisional Government.The British response
was a military one and martial law was declared throughout Ireland.
Over the next five days they drove the rebels back in violent
street fighting until the Provisional Government surrendered on
April 29. Central Dublin was left in ruins. The leaders of the
rising were tried by court martial: 15 of them were summarily
executed and a further 3,500 'sympathizers' imprisoned. Although
the majority of the Irish population was against the rebellion, the
manner of its suppression began to turn their heads in favor of
those who would call for independence from Britain 'at any
cost.'Covering in detail this important milestone in the ongoing
Anglo-Irish struggle, bestselling author Michael McNally thoroughly
examines the politics and tactics employed, to provide a
well-researched study of the roots and outcome of this conflict.
Furthermore, the array of unique photographs depicting this
calamitous event help to bring to life one of the key episodes that
shaped Irish history.
