An unbelievable example of a groups willingness to sacrifice

I was fortunate to be able to purchase this book in Dublin, while on a trip to Ireland in 1988. While I had been interested in the Irish struggle since reading Leon Uris's "TRINTY", I was never able to get as close to it until I read this book. It made such an impression on me that I actually went 7 days without eating to experience just a fraction of what these men went through.The dedication to their cause was heroic, especially when you consider the ambivalence of the rest of the world. It was a great book and a real eye opener. I just hope those men didn't die in vain. GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH!!
