About this title

Synopsis

A balanced account of the 1916 Easter Rising and its place in Irish and British history. Professor Ward pays particular attention to three kinds of Catholic nationalism--constitutional, revolutionary, and romantic--to their counterpart, Protestant Unionism; to the defects of Home Rule as a solution to the Irish problem; and to the role of Irish-Americans in the struggle for Irish independence.
