Revue de presse :
Tells not just the story of Bobby, the prison protest and hunger strikes, but accurately captures the atmosphere of the prison. Friends of Bobby tell of the person they knew. He is alive and vibrant on every page. --Dr Laurence McKeown, former IRA Hunger-Striker
A gripping, heart-stopping, exhilarating sometimes sad book - a story of life, love and noble death --Malachy McCourt, actor, writer and politician
The life of Bobby Sands shows development, growth, maturation, and a profoundly humanistic internationalist flavour, in the midst of a bitter, ugly struggle that can purge the humanity out of anyone. Nothing But An Unfinished Song is the story of how Irish nationalists battled British occupation, sectarian violence, and broken spirits. --Mumia Abu-Jamal, American activist and journalist
