Dublin rising, 1916

This book helps the reader to begin the process of getting to know those whose dedication, industry and life's blood made modern Ireland during the Rising of 1916. Whether the Rising advanced or hindered Irish independence is open to question, but as Charles Townsend stated it most simply, it 'quickened the pulse of the separatist movement.' Knowledge of the places that played a part in the lives of those who led and participated in the Rising helps us to understand them better. Thus, this is a book as much about backstage Dublin as it is about front-stage Dublin- not just the high streets, but also the byways and boreens. These featured streets and buildings make the characters real by associating them with what is still visible before us today, and walking in their steps humanizes those who participated in the Rising. -- Publisher description
