Description

This is the first full-length history of Kilmainham Jail, one of Ireland's most visited tourist sites. It was a powerful symbol of British rule over Ireland; its residents over the years included the bold Robert Emmet and, of course, it was also the place where the 1916 rebels were taken and executed. The book is written by long-serving archivist, Niamh O'Sullivan, with extensive knowledge of the jail and those who were imprisoned there. The book is lavishly illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs.
