Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Irish Rebellion of 1916 and Its Martyrs: Erin's Tragic Easter
O apology would be needed for writing passionately about the recent Irish Rebellion, and no apology is needed for hav ing written dispassionately about it. The mainsprings of the revolution were rational rather than sentimental, and sacrifice has too long been Ireland's saga to call for any pro longed outburst of rhetoric when her sons prove themselves worthy of her traditions. There is very little sunburstery in modern Irish nationalism; it is an aspiration and pur pose based on faith and on a critical appreci ation of history's lessons and of the Spiritual and economic needs of a nation.
