Description
Ten Men Dead: The Story of the 1981 Irish Hunger Strike by David Beresford. In 1981, ten men starved themselves to death in prison, their bodies slowly failing as they fought for recognition as political prisoners. This was a moment of great turmoil in Ireland, with passions and convictions running high on both sides. Ten Men Dead tells the gripping story of these strikers and their devotion to the cause. Drawing on secret documents and letters smuggled out at the time, Beresford brings to life the human side of this struggle. He sheds light on the often-frightening and inhumane circumstances that surrounded the hunger strike, making it comprehensible for all who read about it.
