Revolutionary Woman
Kathleen Clarke was an Irish political activist and the wife of Tom Clarke, one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. Here is her firsthand account of growing up in a family dedicated to the fight for Irish independence. This eventually led to her direct involvement in the most exciting and important period of modern Irish history -- the years leading up to the Easter Rising and after, her husband's execution, her imprisonment in England, the Civil War -- through the early days of the Irish Republic and active roles as a member of the Dail and Senate and as Lord Mayor of Dublin. A gripping life story told with astonishing clarity of thought and memory.
Thomas Clarke
A fascinating examination of the life of Thomas Clarke, a member of the Fenians and a key leader of the Irish Republican Brotherhood in 1916. Clarke spent fifteen years in penal labour for his role in a bombing campaign in London between 1883 and 1898. He was a member of the Supreme Council of the IRB from 1915 and was one of the rebels who planned the 1916 Rising. He was the first signatory of the Proclamation of Independence and was with the group that occupied the GPO. He was executed on 3 May 1916. This accessible biography outlines Clarke's life, from joining the Republican Brotherhood as an eighteen year old, to his execution at the age of fifty-nine.

Tom Clarke
Long overshadowed by fellow republicans Patrick Pearse and James Connolly, Tom Clarke was the man who made the Easter Rising possible. During an extraordinary life dedicated to Irish freedom he rose from humble origins and endured thirty years of struggle, imprisonment and exile before becoming a master conspirator in the Easter Rising. Endowed with a charisma and moral ascendancy, he held together a disparate group of followers and they, in turn, recognised his indispensable leadership by insisting that his name alone should have pride of place on the Proclamation. It was a gesture that, in a sense, guaranteed Clarke immortality; it also proved to be also his death warrant. But death held no terrors for Clarke who was to die satisfied in the belief that, with the sight of a tricolour flying over the GPO, he had changed the course of Irish history.
The Evil to Come
