Dublin

The book "Dublin" by Brian Hughes offers a comprehensive and nuanced examination of the role of Dublin during the Irish Revolution. It highlights the diverse facets of the city and its surroundings, including urban and rural differences as well as the political and military activities undertaken by the residents of Dublin. The author addresses significant events that shaped Ireland's history, such as the suffragette movement, the great industrial labor dispute of 1913, and the struggles during the Easter Rising of 1916. Furthermore, the perspective of "ordinary" citizens is emphasized, including those who actively participated in the events and those who served as witnesses to history. This book thus provides a unique insight into the complex history of Dublin and its influence on Irish identity.
