Summary

Presents the definitive account of tumultous events in Kerry in 1916, how they impacted on the Easter Rising in Dublin and the subsequent shaping of Irish history. It comprehensively details the roles played by Kerry men and women in national and local events, leading up to and including the Rising in Kerry, Dublin and other parts of Ireland. Published for the first time and drawn from first-hand accounts, witness statements and archive material, are biographies of over 100 Kerry men and women arrested for their activities, as well as the stories of dozens of other Kerry natives who played a major part in the rebellion. Featuring a detailed timeline of events, extensive newspaper reports and previously unpubished photographs from the period, this book sets the pivotal role of Kerry and its people in its rightful context of the wider revolutionary period in Ireland. -- Publisher description
