Who Fears to Speak... ?
The Story of Belfast and the 1916 Rising
by
Gerry Adams
Belfast was the first home of Republicanism in Ireland. Yet in
1916 during the Easter Rising, Belfast was quiet. Why?
This book answers that question. It outlines conditions in
Belfast from 1900 to 1916 and traces the growth of
Republicanism and militant Unionism, the role
of 'constitutional nationalism' and the attitude and
omnipresent influence of the British establishment in all this.
In the Belfast of that time we meet Padraig Pearse,
James Connolly, Seán Mac Diarmada, Alice Milligan, Bulmer
Hobson, Edward Carson, Winston Churchill, Joe Devlin,
Winifred Carney, Eoin Mac Néill, Nora Connolly and
many others.
