`A decade of research has culminated in an extremely useful compendium to the history of early twentieth-century Ireland.

The book should be in every public house in Dublin to verify the inevitable "My granddad was in the GPO" discussion! It will be used for some time to come as a reference book for Irish historians, students, teachers, guides, researchers or just about anyone with even a minor interest in the period.' History Ireland
