Irish Political Prisoners 1848-1922

"[A] scholarly and immensely readable account of three-quarters of a century of British experience of Irishmen - and very occasionally women - in their prisons."- Dr Garret FitzGerald, The Guardian"Sean McConville graphically recounts both sides of this story - and does so with an even-handedness and objectivity that must command the respect of all his readers, whatever side of the Irish Sea they may be on." -Dr Garret FitzGerald, The Guardian "Overall, this volume by Sean McConville rates as a 'must read' source for anyone interested in the Irish struggle for national self-determination from 1848 onwards, and the fate og those Irish men and womenwho opted for direct action in persuit of this goall until its realization in large measure early in the twentieth century."
