Ten Men Dead

There has been a surge in interest in The Troubles in recent years, from Patrick Radden Keefe's New York Times Bestselling Say Nothing, to Anna Burns' Man Booker Prize winning The Milkman which sold 98, 000 copies, and Jez Butterworth's four-time Tony Award-winning play The Ferryman. We expect that this newly broadened audience will flock to Ten Men Dead, which remains a must-read account for anyone interested in this history.Since its first publication in 1987, Ten Men Dead has never gone out of print, as readers continue to find their way to Beresford's abiding classic.Striking in its intimate reportage, Beresford worked primarily from hundreds of ?comms? messages written by the strikers and smuggled out of the prison by visitors, who secreted them away in an IRA safehouse and granted unique access to Beresford. His access to these men's stories is unparalleled and earned the book its reputation as ?the best book to emerge from the past 20 years of the conflict in Northern Ireland.?Reprinting with a striking new cover featuring a mural of hunger striker Bobby Sands, this 25th anniversary edition will revitalize a definitive classic.
