Coogan, Tim Pat, 1935-
1916 : the mornings after : from the courts martial to the tribunals / Nineteen sixteen Tim Pat Coogan. - 329 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-317) and index.
The 1916 Easter Rising and its aftermath changed Ireland for ever. The British government's execution of 14 republican rebels transformed a group hitherto perceived as cranks and troublemakers into national heroes. Those who avoided the British firing squads of May 1916 went on to plan a new - and ultimately successful - struggle for Ireland's independence, shaping their country's destiny for the century to come. Historian Tim Pat Coogan offers a strongly personal perspective on the Irish century that followed the Rising - charting a flawed history that is marked as much by complacency, corruption and institutional and clerical abuse, as it is by the sacrifices and nation-building achievements of the Republic's founding fathers --
