1916: The Easter Rising - Tim Pat Coogan's adaptation of the process of the Easter Rising is short but definitive. Detailing the early progression of struggle between Catholic and Protestant relations regarding peace and war, and most of all.... Freedom. Tim dives into IRA's past mostly in the first half of his tales, giving information on a doomed agreement between parties with constant back stabbing of all those involved. Tim vows that "those whom do not learn from history are doomed to relive it."
Tim then goes on to signify a play by W.B.Yeats "Cathleen Ni Houlihan" based on the 1798 Rebellion similar to 1916. They aren't as so different as both revolve the same resolve for Ireland and it's prospects. Tim compares the two rebellions heavily with resemblance noticed between them.
As you read on this objectified piece from Tim, He focuses more on the catholic side and what they seeked out during the troubled times for Ireland and how it could have been dealt with better or avoided.
On Another Man's Wound - Ernie O'Malley's Book written and published by 1936, descriptively details the lives of Irish people during the Rising, Whether they were an IRA Soldier or a ongoing farm worker just trying to make their living throughout this event. This read is significantly large in context and detail covering multiple stories and views of religions, race, class of living, and political views also.
It is stunning to read and acknowledge the grief and horror of what that age of people had to endure through those terrible times and struggles to gain what Ireland has today; Independence. Ernie brings us along the travels throughout Ireland and not just Dublin as the Easter Rising affected the whole country.
Little do most people know but Ken Roach (English Film Director) based a majority of his detail in one of the most notable Irish films ever; "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" from this book which is rich with detail.

This hour long spectacle to watch would be recommended if you haven't covered your history about Ireland, considering the occasion of which it was created, it certainly complements the subject matter of which is discussed in detail and with appreciation from experts alike in the history field of work.
Poetry - The 1916 rising has inspired great creations of poetry from iconic poets like W.B.Yeats, Patrick Pearse, Liam Mac Grabban & Thomas McDonagh. In terms of storytelling I believe to capture the emotion and self thought of the easter rising, you would have to witness the beautiful poetry of which was created for it.
Reviews are covered of each poem on the website also discussing and questioning the flaws of the people involved of the creation of the rising, some poets good friends of some of those people and some poets are those involved in pulling the strings in the disastrous event.
