Summary

"The Sinn Fein Rebellion as I Saw It" by Hamilton Norway is a recounting of the Easter Rising of 1916 in Dublin from a unique perspective. The book shares the experiences and observations of Mrs. Norway, the wife of a postal official, as she lives through the chaos of the rebellion. Through her letters, she paints a picture of the swift change from peace to violence when rebels seize control of key parts of the city. The story not only shows the fear felt by people living there, but also gives insights into how the military and citizens reacted. The book highlights how the rebellion affected regular people, and how it exposed the British government's lack of preparation when faced with the rebels' determination. The telling of these personal experiences helps to showcase the importance of the rebellion and how it fueled Ireland's fight for independence.
