{"product_id":"1916-the-mornings-after","title":"1916: The Mornings After","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1916 Easter Rising and its aftermath changed Ireland for ever. The British government's execution of 14 republican rebels transformed a group hitherto perceived as cranks and troublemakers into national heroes. Those who avoided the British firing squads of May 1916 went on to plan a new – and ultimately successful – struggle for Ireland's independence, shaping their country's destiny for the century to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what sort of country did they create? And to what extent does post-1916 Ireland measure up to the hopes and aspirations of 'MacDonagh and MacBride \/ And Connolly and Pearse'? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest-selling historian Tim Pat Coogan offers a strongly personal perspective on the Irish century that followed the Rising – charting a flawed history that is marked as much by complacency, corruption and institutional and clerical abuse, as it is by the sacrifices and nation-building achievements of the Republic's founding fathers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tim-pat-coogan-books\"\u003eTim Pat Coogan\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Head of Zeus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781784080099\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Head of Zeus","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.86","offer_id":47917000458417,"sku":"SB-1784080098-C3","price":1.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1784080098.jpg?v=1789689165","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/1916-the-mornings-after","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
