Synopsis

Countering the argument that radical socialist James Connoly of the Irish Citizen Army and the leaders of the Irish Republican Brotherhood expected a defeat (and were motivated by a desire to provide a "blood sacrifice") in the 1916 Easter Rising against the British, Foy (history, The Methodist College, Belfast) and Barton (Queen's U., Belfast) present a chronological account of the uprising and its aftermath, including the trials and executions of many of the leaders of the Brotherhood. Distributed by International Publishers Marketing. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
