Synopsis

This collection covers both international and Irish politics. Morrison's themes include the plight of the Palestinian nation, the war in Iraq, US and British foreign policy and military aggression. One section is devoted to individuals - the poets, writers and freedom fighters who have stood up against injustice, and paid a heavy price. In relation to Ireland he analyses republican strategy and developments within unionism, British policy and the dirty war against republicans. There are also sections on the media and the world after September 11. In this provocative collection, the former publicity director of Sinn Fein and ex-prisoner is at his sharpest, combining political anger with highly informative comment. The national and international subject matter is unquestionably serious, but Morrison's wit and eye for the absurd give his writing a special edge
