Description: "The 1916 Rising has been studied from many different angles over the years but the unique perspective of G. P. O. staff on the events of Easter Week has not previously been examined. Post Office records and photographs, many previously unpublished, reveal the importance of the role played by postal staff during that week and provide fascinating eye-witness accounts of events as they unfolded across the city centre" -- back cover.
