Spike Island's Republican Prisoners, 1921 (Paperback)

In 1921, during the Irish War of Independence, the fort on Spike
Island in County Cork was the largest British-military-run prison
for Republican prisoners and internees in the Martial Law area,
housing almost 1,400 men from Munster and south Leinster. Tom
O'Neill has compiled an outstanding record of these men, using
primary-source material from Irish Military Archives, British Army
records, and prisoner and internee autograph books. This book
includes details of arrests, charges, trials, convictions,
sentences and transfers of the Republicans held on Spike Island.
From the establishment of the military prison in 1921, to the
escapes, hunger strikes and riots, as well as the fatal shooting by
sentries of two internees that took place there, Spike Island's
Republican Prisoners, 1921 is the first comprehensive history of
individuals and events on the island during the Irish War of
Independence. Spike Island is now a world-class tourist attraction.
