'I do solemnly swear allegiance to the Irish Republic, now virtually established; that I will take up arms at a moment's notice to defend its integrity and independence.' The Easter Rising, which lasted for five days at the end of April 1916 and made Pearse, Connolly and MacDermott household names, is probably the single most important event in the history of modern Ireland. It set in motion a chain of events that led directly to the War of Independence, the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the bitter Civil War. In Rebel Ireland, Sean McMahon tells the story of the years 1916-23, Easter Rising to Civil War, years which were characterised by both marvellous courage and miserable cruelty. McMahon's succinct and readable style makes Rebel Ireland essential reading for anyone interested in the bloody birth of modern Ireland.
