Description
This account of growing up Catholic in a Northern Irish ghetto offers a unique perspective on the feelings generated by British rule. Eamonn McCann was at the center of events in Derry, which brought Northern Ireland to world attention.
The book describes the people involved in the war, giving an insight into the springs of the "Catholic" opposition and how their background affected daily life during this period. McCann gets beyond the rhetoric of organized groups to reveal the real people behind the events.
