Items related to One Day In My Life
One Day in My Life is a human document of suffering, determination, anguish, courage and faith. It also provides frightening examples of mans inhumanity to man. Written with economy and a dry humour, it charts, almost minute by minute, a brave mans struggle to preserve his identity against cold, dirt and boredom. It is the record of a single day and conjures up vividly the enclosed hell of Long Kesh: the poor food, the harassment and the humiliating mirror searches. Bobby Sands and his comrades were often gripped by terror in the face of the iron system that held them and yet their courage never faltered.Written on toilet paper with a biro refill and hidden inside Bobby Sandss own body, this is a book about human bravery and endurance.

About the 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 Fermanagah and South Tyrone and having defiantly withstood political and moral pressure to abandon his hunger strike.
