16 Dead Men by Anne-Marie Ryan
Sixteen men were executed in the aftermath of the Easter Rising in Ireland, 1916: fifteen were shot and one was hanged. Their deaths changed the course of Irish history. But who were these leaders who set in motion events that would lead to the creation of an independent Ireland? The executed leaders of the Easter Rising were a diverse group. This book contains fascinating accounts of the life stories of these men and recounts the events that brought each of them to rebellion in April 1916.
'Written in a simple and accessible style, with human interest stories that brought out the essence of each of the personalities' * Damien Tiernan, RTE *
