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.
Irish Political Prisoners presents a detailed and gripping overview of political imprisonment from 1920-1962. Seán McConville examines the years from the formation of the Northern Ireland state to the release of the last border campaign prisoners in 1962.
Drawing extensively and, in many cases, uniquely on archives and special collections in the three jurisdictions, and interviews with survivors from the period, McConville demonstrates how punishment came to embody and shape the nationalist consciousness. Irish Political Prisoners 1920-1962 commences with the legacy of the Anglo Irish and Irish Civil Wars - militancy, division and bitterness. The book travels from the embedding of Northern Irelands security agenda in the 1920s, and the IRAs search for a role in the 1930s (including the 1939 bombing campaign against Britain) to the decisive use of internment during the war and the border campaign years. This volume will be an essential resource for students of Irish history and is a major contribution to the study of imprisonment.
