Padraig Pearse And The Easter Rising 1916 (In the Nutshell Heroes)
Easter Week 1916. The time of the great rebellion. They call it the Easter Rising. 2,500 Irish Volunteers take on the mighty British Empire, fighting for freedom from British rule. They are lead by a school principal, a barrister and a poet Padraig Pearse. This is the story of that week. Even though Pearse and his Volunteers were defeated, and Pearse was shot by a firing squad, his name along with the other leaders will be remembered forever, because he knew Ireland unfree will never be at peace."
