- Summary:
- Yeates, a recognized social and labor historian, is the author of the well-received Lockout: 1913 examining the pivotal labor crisis. This work proceeds from the aforementioned work by examining how Dublin was subsequently transformed by the major events of 1914-1918. Events discussed include the aftermath of the Lockout of 1913, the First World War, and the Easter Rising of 1916. Yeats phonologically examines how each had generational impacts on Dublin society and everyday life in the city. The author's love for the city and the subject is infectious, and the narrative style fits the subject well. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
