"description": "The 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 \u2013 and ultimately successful \u2013 struggle for Ireland's independence, shaping their country's destiny for the century to come.\n\nBut 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'?\n\nBest-selling historian Tim Pat Coogan offers a strongly personal perspective on the Irish century that followed the Rising \u2013 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.",
