Faith profiles of 1916 leaders

A customer enquired at a well-known bookshop in Limerick requesting a copy of The End of All Things Earthly. He was told the shop had ordered three copies but that they had not yet arrived.

The book, with the sub title, Faith Profiles of the 1916 Leaders is a 95-page read about 16 of the men who were executed for their part in the 1916 Rising.

It is most informative and gives the reader a sense of the times that were in it.

It includes a biography of Seán Heuston.

David Bracken is editor, published by Veritas and sells for €9.99. Well worth a read.
