| Summary | "Six Days of the Irish Republic" by L. G. Redmond-Howard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a narrative and critical exploration of the events surrounding the Easter Rising of 1916, a pivotal moment in Irish history where insurgents proclaimed the establishment of an Irish Republic. The author, a key biographer of Irish political figures, seeks to unpack the motivations and implications of this uprising against British rule. The opening of the book sets the stage for the Easter Rising, detailing the shock and chaos that erupted in Dublin on that fateful day. Redmond-Howard describes how armed men quickly captured key locations in the city, while civilians and bystanders reacted with a mix of confusion and curiosity, often viewing the events as a surreal spectacle. He recounts various eyewitness accounts, illustrating the immediate impact of the rebellion and the initial erratic responses of both the public and the authorities. The narrative conveys the sense of an unexpected upheaval, framing the rising not only as a fight for independence but also as a complex interplay of ideology, strategy, and societal dynamics within a turbulent historical context.
