Summary "The Sinn Fein Rebellion as I Saw It" by Mrs. Hamilton Norway is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during and after the Easter Rising of 1916 in Dublin. This book presents a personal narrative, chronicling Mrs. Norway's experiences and observations as the wife of a high-ranking postal official amidst the chaos of the rebellion. The likely topic of the book is the events surrounding the Sinn Fein uprising, including the societal and political implications of this turbulent period in Irish history. In her collection of letters, Mrs. Norway provides a vivid, firsthand account of the dramatic events unfolding in Dublin during the Easter Rising. She describes the initial calm that quickly devolves into violence as armed rebels take control of key locations, including the General Post Office. The narrative captures not only the turmoil and fear experienced by residents and officials but also offers insights into the responses of the military and local populace. Throughout the letters, Mrs. Norway illustrates the upheaval, the struggles of the civilians caught in crossfire, and the unpreparedness of the British government, contrasted with the determination of the rebels. Her intimate perspective reveals the broader historical significance of the rebellion and its lasting impact on Ireland's fight for independence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
