Books By The Bobby Sands Trust - Author

Bobby Sands was twenty-seven years old when he died, on the sixty-sixth day of his hunger strike, on 5 May 1981. He had spent almost the last nine years of his short life in prison because of his Irish republican activities. By the time of his death he was world famous for having embarrassed the British establishment by being elected MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone and having defiantly withstood political and moral pressure to abandon his hunger strike.
