Winding the Clock – O’Rahilly and the 1916 Rising, Aodogán O’Rahilly, 1991, Lilliput Press, Signed First Edition, First Printing, Hardback in Dust Jacket, as new condition. “ The author was 11 years old when his father was killed. Winding the Clock takes its place as the last personal account of 1916. It contains telling sketches of other actors in the drama – Casement, MacNeill, Redmond, Devoy, Hobson, Plunkett, Markievicz, Childers, Griffith, Pearse, Connolly – and by weaving unpublished documents and family letters through the narrative, it clothes the skeleton of history. Despite being commemorated in Yeats’s poem, O’Rahilly is one of the forgotten leaders of the 1916 Rising – surprisingly, since he was the first leader to die, and the only one killed in action.”;   1916 The Morning After, Tim Pat Coogan, 2015, Head of Zeus, First Edition, First Printing, in Dust Jacket , as new;   Northern Ireland – The Political Economy of Conflict, Bob Rowthorn & Naoimi, Wayne, 1988, Polity Press, First Edition, softcover, very good condition; and   The Stealing of the Crown Jewels, Myles Dungan, 2003, Town House, First Edition, First Printing, Hardback in Dust Jacket, as new condition. “Days before the visit in 1907of King Edward VII to Ireland the Crown Jewels go missing from the Office of Arms at Dublin Castle. Myles Dungan gives an account of the theft of the jewels which have never been found and whose whereabouts remain a mystery over 100 years later.” (4)
