""Historian Rory Sweetman got the sort of endorsement for his latest work that anyone from his profession would hope for. The Sunday Business Post called Defending Trinity College, Easter 1916 a ""superb piece of historical excavation and a reminder than even well-trodden ground can sometimes yield up new treasures."" --Peter McDermott, Irish Echo ""This book offers a rich new source in the shape of letters written home by several of the New Zealanders caught up in the Rising. Their contents give fresh insight into important aspects of the insurrection and allow us to test some controversial claims made by the Anzacs against Trinity's own record of Easter Week."" --Peter McDermott, Irish Echo
