Touring Dublin today and visited the sites of the 1916 Easter uprising. Can any readers help with reading suggestions on this and the later war. Thank you in advance. |

The Irish Government published The Making of 1916 way back when and sold it for a very reasonable price. Ask for it in the National Museum on Kildare Street you may be in luck. From former combatants Ernie O'Malley is interesting 'On Another Man's Wound' and 'The Singing Flame'. Tom Barry's Guerrilla Day's in Ireland too. Look out for General Brennan Whitmore's book as well -sorry the title escapes me. There is a lot of stuff about. |

Go into any bookshop while you are in Dublin. They nearly all have extensive Irish history sections. |

The last time I was in Dublin there was a great bookshop at the bottom of Grafton St near St stephen's Green with all you ever needed to know about 1916 and beyond. |

Hi in addition to the above Make sure you visit Colins Barracks, which houses the history and military museum of the National Museum. Its a little walk out of the centre but worth the effort. That contains quite a lot on the Easter Rising and subsquent war of independence and civil war. You can pick up a series of Essential History Ospreys on each of those conflicts. ps Best not refer to these as rebellions whilst in Ireland |

"Best not refer to these as rebellions whilst in Ireland" Why? That's what it was. I always make a point of doing so when I'm home. |

Try "Bitter Freedom" by Maurice Walsh, it puts the rising, the subsequent war and the civil war into context. |

Rebellions that succeed invariably morph into Wars of Independence. The failures get lumbered with terms like rebellion, mutiny, uprising, etc. |
