1916: The Mornings After by Tim Pat Coogan
The story of the traumatic aftermath of Ireland's Easter Rising of 1916, and of the emergence of two Irish states one green, one orange from the embers of bloody conflict.
'This book by esteemed historian, Tim Pat Coogan will no doubt provide some interesting, albeit difficult questions.. Best for history buffs' The Irish Post (10 Irish Books you should read this year).
'A strongly personal perspective on the Irish century that followed the Rising – charting a flawed history that is marked as much by complacency, corruption and institutional and clerical abuse, as it is by the sacrifices and nation-building achievements of the Republic's founding fathers' Sunday Independent.
'A highly personal and idiosyncratic view of the period from the 1916 rising to the present day ... entertaining and easy to read, with some good quotes and stories as well as reminders of events overlooked or forgotten' Irish Independent.
