PROVISIONAL I.R.A. Freedom Struggle.

Illustrated. Reamrá by P. Ó Néill. Comment on rear cover by Daithí Ó Conaill. Belfast: 1973. pp, 101. Pictorial wrappers. A very good copy. Rare.
A rare contemporary republican publication issued during the height of the Northern conflict, Freedom Struggle presents the Provisional I.R.A.’s own visual and textual narrative of the armed campaign. Illustrated throughout, the work functions as both propaganda and historical record, articulating the movement’s self-justification and ideological framework at a critical moment in the Troubles. The Réamhrá by P. Ó Néill situates the struggle within a longer republican tradition, while the rear-cover commentary by Dáithí Ó Conaill, one of the organisation’s principal political strategists, underscores the publication’s official provenance.
