Product Description

Review

'A short popular-style history of the event -- indeed a remarkably thorough one, in which we discovered events we had forgotten or not known, and found photographs that were new to us too -- but the arrangement by location rather than time means that the devout pilgrim or visitor is encouraged and helped to view the places of significance.' -- Books Ireland Books Ireland


Product Description

This is a vivid and entertaining guide to the events and locations of the Easter 1916 Rising. Defying all the odds 1600 men, women and children went out on 24 April, Easter Monday, 1916 to fight for an independent Ireland. The battle raged for six days and resulted in the destruction of many parts of Dublin city. The bloody executions of the leaders by the British after the Rising awakened a generation to the cause of Irish freedom. Vividly illustrated, this book takes you through the battle-torn streets of Dublin. Hear the sounds, smell the gunpowder and meet the main players, as the complexities of this dramatic episode in Irish history are explained in an accessible and concise fashion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work!, 25 Feb 2002
By A Customer
The Easter Rising : A Guide to Dublin in 1916 by Conor Kostick and Lorcan Collins is simply a great book. Well-researched, well-written, and with fantastic photographs, anyone interested in Irish history should own this book. Make it a point, too, to take their Easter Rising walking tour, which meets at the International Bar. It is a highlight of any trip to Dublin. Well done, lads!

5.0 out of 5 stars a book that entertains as it enlightens, 2 Jul 2001
By A Customer
At last we have a concise account of the Easter Rising. Collins and Kostick have contributed a really worthwhile book to the tomes of Irish history. This book has one very important quality; it is highly readable. And although highly informative it avoids any leanings towards the didactic format most books of this kind take. The books birth, from a historical tour of Dublin probably aided the books readability. The result is that the topic has a human feel which most history books seem to omit in recording the events. Amongst this praise for the style and accessibility of the book don't think that causes, mechanics and consequences of the events have been in any way neglected. One would indeed struggle to find a book of similar size that contained so much history, both political and social. The best way to sum this book up is to say that on completion I felt regret; regret firstly that it wasn't at hand when as a confused student I tried to unravel the history of Ireland, and secondly that there are not more historians writing in this manner. Keep it up lads.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Easter Rising: A Guide to Dublin in 1916., 13 Feb 2004
Can't help becoming enthused with the subject once you start to read this book. Lots of good photographs and human-interest details throughout. The story of the Rising is told as a journey through central Dublin, with chapters linked to city locations and landmarks. The book lacks an index but, once read, information which has been associated with a particular marker can then be accessed again by turning to that marker's chapter.
