"The immediate aftermath of the 1916 Rising is an often-overlooked period of Irish revolutionary history. However, it saw the rebirth of the Volunteers and laid the foundations for the War of Independence. Picking up where the authors' acclaimed account of the Rising left off, we join the rebels in the throes of defeat. The leaders' poignant final hours and violent ends are laid bare, but the perspective of those with the unpalatable task of carrying out the executions is also revealed."
