Sisters Against the Empire: Countess Constance Markievicz and Eva Gore-Booth, 1916-1917 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781908308870)

Tells the remarkable story of one of Ireland's most famous families at the time of the 1916 Easter Rising and its aftermath. In London, Eva Gore-Booth is shocked to read a newspaper report that her sister Constance lies dead on a Dublin street. She rushes to Westminster and British Army headquarters and discovers her sister is alive, but condemned to death. Meanwhile, in Kilmainham Gaol, Constance hears the firing squads killing her closest friends as she awaits her fate. Sisters Against the Empire draws on new sources to show how these two women defied the might of an empire at war. This is history with the attention to detail and vivid characterization, told with the intensity of a novel. With black & white photos and illustations.
