More about the book

The book delves into the life of Eimar Ultan O'Duffy, an influential figure in early 20th-century Ireland. It highlights his education and pivotal role in the 1916 Easter Rising, where his actions inadvertently disrupted the plans by informing Eoin MacNeill of the impending uprising. This led to a nationwide cancellation of maneuvers intended as a cover for the Rising. The narrative explores the complexities of O'Duffy's decisions and their significant impact on Irish history, as well as his partnership with Bulmer Hobson.
