Those of us Who Must Die

Popped over to Dublin last week for the launch of "Those of Us Who Must Die", the second book by Derek Molyneux and Darren Kelly.

Very well attended event with Marcus Howard doing the honours re officially launching the book.

Just finished reading "Those of Us Who Must Die" and have to say it's another great read. While I languish in the dry world of facts, figures etc, Derek and Darren are able to string a story together that delivers facts in a well paced and entertaining roller coaster of a ride. The range of emotions stirred reading this book is worrying - anger, pride, sadness and a few tears welled up as events unfold following the Easter Rising.

A wide range of things that were new to me and which will spin off a few little research projects.

Definitely a worthy addition to the library to sit alongside "When the Clock Struck in 1916".
