Children of the Rising :

Duffy, Joe, 1956-

Children of the Rising : the untold story of the young lives lost during Easter 1916 / Joe Duffy. - Dublin : Hachette Books Ireland, 2015. - 288 pages ; 25 cm

'Children of the Rising' is the first ever account of the young lives violently lost during the week of the 1916 Rising: long-forgotten and never commemorated, until now. Boys, girls, rich, poor, Catholic, Protestant - no child was guaranteed immunity from the bullet and bomb that week, in a place where teeming tenement living existed side by side with immense wealth. Drawing on extensive original research, along with interviews with relatives, Joe Duffy creates a compelling picture of these forty lives, along with one of the cut and thrust of Dublin city life a century ago, between the two canals of Dublin.
