Just published by Irish Academic Press
www.iap.ie/
This is a book broadly sympathetic to republicanism and socialism (contributors
range from RSF to CPI). It is dedicated to the memory of CD Greaves. Of particular
interest are Brian P Murphy's essay which gets straight into English, Hart etc, the
one on Pearse, the Roll of Honour of the ICA (also includes a list of its entire
membership) and an essay by an RSF phd student on the RM in the 1960s. I haven't
finished it yet, but it is a pity it was not published in 2006, it would have had
more impact. My recommendation: buy this book!
The Impact of the 1916 RisingAmong the NationsO'Donnell, Ruan This book is a
collection of new research on neglected aspects of the 1916 Rising by top scholars.
