Besides that, I've also got a book checked out on the 1916 Easter Rising, under the same title 1916: Easter Rising by Tim Pat Coogan.

I've got a couple of other books by Tim Pat Coogan (The Troubles and Michael Collins), good author

Oh yea?  That's good to hear.  If I like this book, I think the latter (Collins) might be next.  He seems rather... complex.

Any recommendations on a bio/history on Eamon de Valera?

No....I'd be interested in a good one, though.

I love that book.   Also the "How to be a Victorian."

Nineteen hundred years or near,
