The rebellion that set Ireland free, told as a graphic novel.
The 1916 Easter Rising was an attempt by a small group of militant Irish
republicans to win independence from Britain. It was the most
significant rebellion in Ireland. Though a military failure, it set
Ireland on the road to freedom from Britain.
The book covers the story from the early planning to the final
executions and includes the tragic romance between Joseph Plunkett and
Grace Gifford.
Following on from the success of political graphic novels such as Maus
and Persepolis, this is accessible, informative and insightful history
at its best.
