fascinating … useful … remarkable … a most useful book to keep to
hand when reading others books on the Rising and the subsequent War
of Independence as it contains most of the information that one may
wish to quickly refer to
*Ireland’s Genealogical Gazette*
Irish author, historian and lecturer Lorcan Collins sums it all up
neatly with this slim volume of forensic facts, true timelines,
listings, and biographies of all involved. Accented with maps,
drawings, photographs and newspaper clippings, the bite-sized
details are easily digestible, and, added-up, are more than filling
for either hardcore readers with a passion for the past or those
simply looking to see what all the hype is about. Either way, the
author has pieced together the puzzle of an historic time and the
people who made that history happen
*Celtic Life International*
Lorcan Collins […] quietly amassed an encyclopaedic knowledge of
revolutionary Ireland. That knowledge illuminates every page of
1916 The Rising Handbook, his essential new guide to the uprising.
Collins’ book is nothing less than a total immersion in the era,
introducing us to its principle players and their often conflicting
politics. […] Planned as a reference book and guide to the general
reader, 1916 The Rising Handbook is one of the most comprehensive
introductions to the revolution you could ever ask for.
*Irish Voice*
a handy first tool for historians as well as 1916 obsessives
*Irish Times*
provides a readily available ‘toolbox’ of essential information,
interesting facts and indispensable lists to the wider public … to
be recommended. It does what it says on the tin and more
*Liberty Magazine*
a great book … it will bust many myths and end many rows
*TV3’s Ireland AM*
A fascinating book
*Ireland AM, TV3*
I can seriously say this hand on heart that if there are two books
that all our children should read this year, about 1916, it would
be your 1916 The Rising Handbook and Joe Duffy’s Book about the
children who lost their lives in it. With the two of those you get
an incredible range of views and a breadth of understanding about
what actually happened that maybe you and I didn’t get when we went
to school….. I hope it sells by the bucketload
*Mark Cagney, Ireland AM*
if you only buy one title about the Easter Rising, it should be
Lorcan Collin’s 1916: The Rising Handbook
*Irish News*
slim but forensic
*RTE Guide*
fascinating
*Joe Duffy, Irish Mail on Sunday*
