Publisher's Synopsis
Joe Stanley was a young printer who flouted the laws suppressing free speech under the noses of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. His crucial role came during the Easter Rising - as the rifles cracked around the GPO, he acted as Pearse's press agent, getting word out that Ireland was rebelling once again. Numerous iconic documents passed through his hands, the most significant of which are reproduced here. After the rising, Stanley was imprisoned in Frongoch, where he fraternised with Michael Collins.
