Description
Irish Political Prisoners, 1920-1962 is the second in a three-volume set which offers a detailed and gripping overview of the political use of imprisonment in modern Ireland. Covering the period from the formation of the Northern Ireland state to the release of the last border campaign prisoners, it draws extensively on archives and special collections in the three jurisdictions and interviews with survivors. Author Seán McConville analyses the divisive and bitter impact of the Irish Civil War and demonstrates how punishment came to shape the nationalist consciousness. Developments covered include the early years of security in Northern Ireland, IRA operations in the 1930s, the 1939 bombing campaign against Britain, wartime internment in Eire, and the 1956-62 border campaign. McConville tells the full story of the part played by political imprisonment in shaping Anglo-Irish relations and the intensification of IRA activity. This volume is an essential resource for all students of modern Irish history.
