Ten Men Dead: The Story of the 1981 Irish Hunger Strike Paperback - 1997
by David Beresford; Introduction by Peter Maas
First line
The Angel was huddled in a borrowed overcoat, but even that and his Arran jersey were not enough to keep out the cold.
From the rear cover
In 1981 ten men starved themselves to death inside the walls of Long Kesh prison in Belfast. While a stunned world watched and distraught family members kept bedside vigils, one "soldier" after another slowly went to his death in an attempt to make Margaret Thatcher's government recognize them as political prisoners rather than common criminals. Drawing extensively on secret IRA documents and letters from the prisoners smuggled out at the time, David Beresford tells the gripping story of these strikers and their devotion to the cause. An intensely human story, Ten Men Dead offers a searing portrait of strife-torn Ireland, of the IRA, and the passions - on both sides - that Republicanism arouses.
