Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Feehan, a self-described "average Southern Irishman," came to regard Bobby Sands, the IRA martyr who died during a hunger strike in Long Kesh detention camp, as a "kind of moral catalyst." In this opinionated work, "he makes understandable a people's plight," PW commented.

Review

"Bobby Sands, who died a prisoner on a hunger strike in the infamous detention camp of Long Kesh, was elected, against all odds, to the British Parliament. Feehan makes understandable a people's plight and the betrayal of realpolitik on all sides."

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Hero, December 23, 1998
By A Customer
Bobby Sands is a true hero of the Republican Movement and the fight to end British injustice in the north of Ireland. Due to government censorship of all press and media coming out of the north, many people either don't know much about the War, or don't know the truth to the stuggle that continues today. Read the book-if you don't know, don't know what to think, or want to know more. It is a wonderfully well written and researched book, and it is here solely to bring you the real story. Take advantage of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humanity at its Best., November 2, 2001
By Chris Fogarty (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a treasury of facts! Read it even if you believe that the Anglo-Irish conflict's terrorists are Irish; perhaps especially if you do. Author Feehan's facts are devastating and he organizes them masterfully. His preface,"A Word To The Reader" is alone worth the book's price. Its chapters ("The Background" followed by "Caveat Emptor" (news media involvement), "The Beginning" (Sands' earlier life ),"The Young Man," "The Prisoner," and "The End") are jam-packed with revelations. Even the Epilogue contains stunners. The Irish gov't, by its deeds, reveals itself as a London-run Quisling operation. This book is a great read; but its historical importance derives from the uniqueness of its truthfulness regarding Sands and Northern Ireland. From it you will learn about integrity and understand why communities as disparate as, for example, Le Mans, France and Teheran now contain streets named "Bobby Sands."
For greater detail of the actual (mostly British) terrorists' identities see any of the compilations all of which are undisputed and mutually consistent. The most concise of them, available from Amazon.com, is "An Index of Deaths From the Conflict in Ireland: 1969-1993" by Malcolm Sutton.

5.0 out of 5 stars This gerat book is a real eye opener., January 17, 2006
By Padraig O Braonain (Galway Ireland) - See all my reviews
I couldn't put this book down. It is amazing how the Irish Government and some cheesey media types tried and indeed are still trying to criminalize this man. It's as if the Dublin government is controlled by Britain,I now think they are. Read this great book if you need to know the other side of the story.
