Publisher's Synopsis
The 1916 Rebellion, arguably the defining event in modern Irish history, transformed the political landscape in ways that allowed the Irish state to emerge. This lavishly illustrated book offers a comprehensive commentary on the relevant sources - manuscripts, books, ephemera, photographs, government reports - held in institutions and private collections in Ireland, Great Britain and the United States. The accompanying commentary aids researchers in navigating the complexities of the sources, and provides scholarly commentary on the conflicting forces that shaped this tumultuous period.
