Blood Upon the Rose Easter 1916

"(W/A) Gerry Hunt The 1916 Easter Rising was an attempt by a small group of militant Irish republicans to win independence from Britain. 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. Like Maus and Persepolis, this is accessible, informative and insightful history at its best."
