From Child Soldier To The H Block Prison Struggle with Séamus Kearney
I was joined by Séamus Kearney to discuss his recently released memoir "No Greater Love” (https://www.anceathrupoili.com/en/shop/no-greater-love-the-memoirs-of-seamus-kearney/). The book details Séamus' involvement in the republican movement, from his entry into the youth wing of the Provisional IRA in Belfast at just 15 years of age through to his incarceration in 1977, whereupon he joined fellow republican prisoners on the blanket protest in the notoroius H Blocks.
A witness to the 1980 and 1981 Hunger Strikes, Seamus details his comradeship and interactions with key figures in the H Block struggle and analyses the consequences and impact of those seismic events on the republican movement as it stands today.
No Greater Love can also be purchased both locally and internationally, from Little Acorn Bookstore, Foyle Street, Derry.
