RCG was the only principled group on the British Left that truly supported the Irish struggle for liberation, from supporting the hunger strikers to the armed resistance.

* need to read more on the connection between the Hunger Strikes of Irish prisoners and uprisings in Britain against state racism in 1981

[Jimmy Steele]

Written by communists in Britain that were unapologetically sympathetic to the Irish Republican struggle. The book is solidly anti-imperialist and goes into detail about the IRA’s armed struggle, Republican ideology and the brutality of the British state.

One of the best books on Ireland ever written. I would love to see an updated version chronicling events post-1983.
