Irish Lives and Times, The Easter Rebellion and The Rise of Sinn Fein, is an anthology of selected newspaper articles from April 24, 1916 to December 30, 1918. It is a living narrative of life in Ireland during the rise of Sinn Fein and Republicanism. Set against the background of World War I, the Easter Rebellion triggers a revolution in Irish politics as the party of the rebels evolves in two and a half years from the reviled to the revered and places Ireland on a course for war and independence.
