NOR MEEKLY SERVE MY TIME:
THE H-BLOCK STRUGGLE 1976-1981

Compiled by Brian Campbell 

and edited by 

Brian Campbell, Laurence McKeown 
and Felim O'Hagan


This is the story of one of the most remarkable prison protests
in history, told for the first time by the prisoners themselves.
The protest began when a new regime was imposed on 
political prisoners in the North of Ireland in 1976. The book 
is a compilation drawn from the accounts of those prisoners 
who refused to be treated as criminals under the new regime.

For five years, hundreds of Irish Republicans in Long Kesh 
prison endured deprivation and brutality. Then in 1981, 
ten of them died a slow and painful death on hunger strike.

How and why did it happen?

This book tells the inside story. In the words of the men who
lived through and survived those years of protest and hunger strike,
it gives a moving insight into why ten men gave their lives in
pursuit of a political goal.
