About This Book
The work records daily notes from the final weeks of an urban uprising, blending eyewitness reporting, local rumors, and personal reflection. Short dated entries describe street life under tension, children playing at soldiers, house searches, arrests, troop and naval movements, funerals, shortages and the presence of foreign forces, along with political debate, shifting authority, and the faltering of press and institutions. The tone alternates between stunned observation and analytical musing, capturing how ordinary routines, fear, and civic rituals continued amid violence, and how the author grapples with duty, morality, and the uncertain aftermath.
