Irish Political Prisoners presents a detailed and gripping overview
of political imprisonment from 1920-1962. Sean 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
Ireland's security agenda in the 1920's, and the IRA's search for a
role in the 1930's (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. .
