After the Rising: Soldiers, Lawyers, and Trials of the Irish Revolution

The narrative delves into the significant legal cases following the 1916 Easter Rising, including high-profile trials and the impact of martial law. As the executions of key leaders led to a failed government policy of conciliation, Ireland faced increasing unrest amid the conscription crisis and exclusion from the Versailles Peace Conference. The book captures the chaotic atmosphere of raids, reprisals, and the dismantling of legal structures, illustrating the country's descent into conflict during this turbulent period of Irish history.
