FROM ONE HUNGER STRIKER, INSCRIBED TO ANOTHER: Days of Fear

Movingly inscribed first edition from the author to another of the (at first) 65 Irish Volunteers in Dublin’s Mountjoy Prison who demanded Prisoner of War status. Accompanied by mounting demonstrations across Ireland, the British government capitulated and many of these prisoners were released before greater harm was done. This printed edition of Gallagher’s prison diary of these extraordinary days in Irish history has been inscribed on the front flyleaf: ‘To Andrew McDonnell in memory of these [DAYS OF FEAR] though which we went together. Frank Gallagher 6-5-29’.

Black cloth binding, faded paper label; a little spine lean. Dog earring to the title page, otherwise a near very good copy. Scarce thus.
