Here is the fascinating story of the document that on Easter Monday, 1916, proclaimed Ireland a republic and a sovereign independent state. This engaging story of the Proclamation, read in front of Dublin's General Post Office on that historic day, tells why it was necessary, who wrote it, who secretly printed it, and how it was distributed. Information is also provided on how to determine an authentic print. Among the photographs are the 1916 leaders, the General Post Office and surrender of Patrick Pearse. Also included are the 1916 Roll of Honor and a map of Dublin 1916.

The Irish Easter Rebellion and the 1916 Proclamation,
By
This review is from: The 1916 Proclamation (Paperback)
This is a lively, straightforward and factual account of the circumstances in which one of the most important political documents of the 20th century was created. There are more detailed bibliographic descriptions of the proclamation and later reprints but O'Connor provides all that is neccessary to identify the rare first printing. While focused on the heroic efforts to print the document, this brief book provides a detailed account of the Easter week, with photographs enhancing the text.
