One Day in My Life is available online at the Sinn Féin Bookshop.
Introduction by Gerry Adams
Bobby Sands was 27 years old when he died. He spent almost nine years of his life in prison because of his Irish republican activities. He died, in prison, on 5 May 1981, on the sixty-sixth day of his hunger strike at Long Kesh Prison, outside Belfast. This book documents a day in the life of Bobby Sands. It is a tale of human bravery, endurance and courage against a backdrop of suffering, terror and harassment.
It will live on as a constant reminder of events that should never have happened – and hopefully will never happen again.

I really appreciate Sands’ courage in fighting against the oppressors. His life and works leave everyone inspired, especially those who suffered or suffer from the atrocities of occupants. Let Bobby’s life be an exam[le for us to follow!LONG LIVE UNITED IRELAND!!!!!
I addition to my previous remark, i’d like to say im not Irish myself, but stand up for their rights. any reasonable European will honor heroes like Bobby.
i have just read one day in my life, and it is a amazing. . I find it totaly inspired me and drive home to me just why the fight for irelands freedom can not and should not eva end. . Men like bobby and them of the h blocks are what makes ireland. . The fight they had and many still have inside their hearts 2day will ultimatly in the end free the irish people. . Tiocfaidh ar la. . And it wont be long. .
Tiochfaid ar La. Sure the day will come.. Ireland was the first colony and willl be the last colony.. The English´s tyranny over centuries will only fall back on themselves, Cromwell, Thatcher and more. Irelland is a peaceful land and will be a land with recources to all.
This being said from a lad from Norway (I have been 3 times to Ireland, and In love Ireland)
