Between them lies the Easter Rising, when Irish republicans took up arms against British rule and changed the course of their country's history forever. For though the resistance failed, it failed gloriously; the rebels were no longer a group of cranks and troublemakers in the public eye, but martyrs and national heroes, their example set the way for others and their mission lived on through the century to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut what sort of country did the Rising create? And how does post-1916 Ireland compare with the aspirations of the rebellion's leaders, the hopes of Thomas MacDonagh and John MacBride, of James Connolly and Patrick Pearse? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne hundred years later, Tim Pat Coogan offers a personal perspective on the Irish experience that followed the Rising. He charts a flawed history that is marked as much by complacency, corruption, and institutional abuse as it is by the building of a nation and the sacrifices of the Republic's founding fathers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Pat Coogan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250110599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250110596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Dunne Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/26\/2016","brand":"Tim Pat Coogan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995666612479,"sku":"9781250110596","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_921b84e9-b211-44ba-b72a-2b41d1faf3af.jpg?v=1683337122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1916-tim-pat-coogan-9781250110596","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
