When the Clock Struck in 1916: Close-Quarter Combat in the Easter Rising

The Easter Rising of 1916 was a seminal moment in Ireland's turbulent history. What did the men and women who fought on the streets of Dublin endure during those brutal days after the clock struck on 24 April 1916? For them, the conflict was a mix of bloody fighting and energy-sapping waiting, with meager supplies of food and water, little chance to rest, and the terror of imminent attacks. This account of the major engagements of Easter Week 1916 takes us onto the shelled and bullet-ridden streets of Dublin with the foot soldiers on both sides of the conflict, into the collapsing buildings and through the gun smoke.
