The Easter Rising

Countering the argument that radical socialist James Connoly of the Irish Citizen Army and the leaders of the Irish Republican Brotherhood expected a defeat (and were motivated by a desire to provide a "blood sacrifice") in the 1916 Easter Rising against the British, Foy (history, The Methodist College, Belfast) and Barton (Queen's U., Belfast) present a chronological account of the uprising and its aftermath, including the trials and executions of many of the leaders of the Brotherhood.
