Download or read book Ten Men Dead written by David Beresford and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1981 ten men starved themselves to death inside the walls of Long Kesh prison in Belfast. While a stunned world watched and distraught family members kept bedside vigils, one "soldier" after another slowly went to his death in an attempt to make Margaret Thatcher's government recognize them as political prisoners rather than common criminals. Drawing extensively on secret IRA documents and letters from the prisoners smuggled out at the time, David Beresford tells the gripping story of these strikers and their devotion to the cause. An intensely human story, Ten Men Dead offers a searing portrait of strife-torn Ireland, of the IRA, and the passions -- on both sides -- that Republicanism arouses.

What would they tell us to soothe our sorrow for their loss, calm our fears of what happens when we die, and fire us up to live the best possible lives we can right now?

In pages filled with wisdom, humor, and, yes, joy, Mike explores our most pressing and profound questions about the afterlife—and this life—by adopting the perspective of those who have made the transition to the next phase. Among the revelations and insights they share: • We were ready; you are not. • There’s no such thing as a devil or hell. • We’re sorry for any pain we may have caused. • Your pets are just as crazy, brilliant, and loving here as they were there. • Nothing we say can prepare you for the beauty of the moment you arrive. New readers are discovering The Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell You all the time—and this anniversary release gives the book a fresh new package and new preface from the author to frame its invaluable insights for the times we live in now. “Mike Dooley lifts the veil between our perceptual world and the world beyond our physical sight. [He] reminds us that we’re always being guided. . . . Read this book and reconnect with the love that is all around you.” — Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author
