Irish Nationalism, Irish Republicanism and the 1916 Easter Rising by Dennis McIntyre

This is the fascinating story of Irish nationalism and republicanism, as well as the history of the 1916 Rebellion – commonly known as the Easter Rising – with some associated writings, poems and songs.

It spans an amazing array of captivating events and personalities. It is short and concise but, very thoroughly researched with acute attention to detail – a hallmark of the author! It is very readable, fascinatingly interesting, most informative and copiously illustrated.

It is a factual account (yes, warts and all) of all matters covered, presented in a non-interpretative, non-judgemental way. There has been no publication of its kind covering similar ground. It even unearths information that, for some, will be new. How many are aware that the decision to ‘in fact’ go ahead with an uprising was actually made by the Supreme Council of the IRB in Clontarf Town Hall on 16 January 1916? Who were the ‘Inghinidhe na hÉireann’ (Daughters of Ireland)? Who were the ‘Hibernian Rifles’?

If you want to know about the history of Irish nationalism and Irish republicanism and the story of Easter 1916, then this is the book for you.
