The book also covers some great human interest stories like how Sean O'Casey recruited Ernest Blythe into the IRB. John's book is one of many coming out as we celebrate our decade of centenaries, but one I would highly recommend for a concise collection on this period as the books says "how did Ireland go from welcoming royalty in 1912 to independence in 1922?"
