The book begins with Ceannt's childhood in County Galway. We learn about his early education and his love of the Irish language. We also learn about his involvement in the Gaelic Athletic Association and his work as a teacher.

In 1913, Ceannt joined the Irish Volunteers. He quickly rose through the ranks and became one of the leaders of the organization. In 1916, he played a key role in the Easter Rising. He was captured by the British and executed on May 8, 1916.

The book tells the story of Ceannt's life through the eyes of 16 people who knew him. These include his family, friends, colleagues, and students. Each person provides a unique perspective on Ceannt's life and work.

The book is a fascinating and moving account of one of the most important figures in Irish history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish history, the 1916 Rising, or Eamonn Ceannt.
