Reviews

Irish Political Prisoners, 1920-1962 is a meticulously researched book that marks the partial culmination of an ambitious scholarly endeavour. It is...an unsurpassed account of how the struggle for Irish freedom was shaped by the carceral experiences of its protagonists. This is a fascinating book written with style, verve and scrupulous attention to detail. It will be read with profit by those who take an interest in politics, history, penal policy, or criminal justice. -Ian O'Donnell, University College Dublin ...it is important in our understanding of Irish and Anglo-Irish history that we have such a reliable guide to show us the role played by Irish political imprisonment, a guide who is prepared to unveil so wisely what happened in these arguable quieter years of Irish political development. Richard English, University of St. Andrews
