- Summary
- Bobby Sands wsa 27 years old, and 66 days on a hunger strike when he died in the H Blocks of Long Kesh in Northern Ireland on May 5, 1981. The young IRA volunteer, who had spent the last nine years of his short life in prison, was world-famous by the time of his death, having been elected to the British parliament and having withstood political and moral pressures to abandon his fast. The hunger strike was aimed at rebutting the British government's attempts to criminalize the struggle for Irish freedom by changing the status of Sands and his fellow cellmates from political to criminal status. This book recounts his experiences in prison. -- Publisher description
