Willie Pearse by Risn Ghairbh
William 'Willie' Pearse was a younger brother of Patrick Pearse, arguably the most famous of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. Following his brother into the Irish Volunteers and Republican movement, Willie was by his side during the siege at the General Post Office. This book remembers the short but significant life of a man who shaped the history of his country.
Willie Pearse is usually seen as an unfortunate adjunct to his more prominent brother, but Ni Ghairbhi paints a fascinating picture of his life and career
