**Note for Dreamwidth site: This is an import from the journal at LJ. Please feel free to read and comment.

For several years on my journals devoted to Bobby, I marked the anniversaries of all the hunger strikers as well as significant events. I would like now to refer people to the archive to look at the daily titles from the last year of active posting, for example, in order to refresh their memory of the history of that time. For archived events in the political situation, please refer to SAOIRSE32. I do monitor comments made here, so please feel free to post them.

Regretfully, I have had to introduce comment screening on this journal.

You may also read this journal at BOBBY SANDS on Lj.

The site search is currently located at the Lj site.

Thank you,

Thank you lots for your wonderful comment, Sammy. I am going to ask my historian friend at '1169 and counting...' (http://1169andcounting.blogspot.com/) to recommend some good books for you if she will. Watch this spot. :)

Hi all !
Sharon here , from '1169...' , with a book suggestion : of all the books , pamphlet's ,articles etc that I have read in relation to Irish history , the one that has stayed in my mind is a book I read about 3 or 4 years ago - it concentrates mainly on the period after the 1916 Rising and contains some material I never knew about . It's a heart-breaking compilation of real-life historical stories on some of those who took their lead from the Rising , and goes into great detail on those involved . I couldn't recommend it highly enough .
The book is called 'Seventy-Seven Of Mine,Said Ireland' , and the author is Martin O'Dwyer (Bob).
If it means you having to join a library to get your hands on it , you'll be glad you did!
Thanks!
Sharon.
