| Summary | "The Irish Rebellion of 1916: or, The Unbroken Tradition" by Nora Connolly O'Brien is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the significant events and sentiments surrounding the Easter Week uprising in Ireland, focusing on the aspiration for self-governance and the role of various figures and organizations in the rebellion. The narrative is both personal and political, exploring the motivations behind the revolutionary actions taken against British rule in Ireland. The opening portion of the text introduces us to key themes of resistance and identity in Ireland. It begins with an acknowledgment of the various explanations provided for the uprising, asserting that the English occupation is the primary catalyst for the rebellion. The author emphasizes the unbroken tradition of fighting for freedom throughout Irish history, using both lyrical prose and historical anecdotes to express the collective spirit and sacrifice of the Irish people. Connolly O'Brien shares her personal experience as the daughter of James Connolly, detailing her involvement in the labor strikes and the revolutionary efforts leading up to the insurrection, which creates a vivid picture of the fervor and dedication felt by those participating in the struggle for Irish independence.
