On The 13th July 1981 after 46 days on hunger-strike Martin Hurson’s life ended in the prison hospital of Long Kesh.
This young Tyrone man from the Cappagh/ Galbally area was the 6th person to die on hunger-strike and followed the deaths of Bobby Sands, Francis Hughes, Ray McCreesh, Patsy O’Hara and Joe McDonnell.
Gerry Cunningham (author of “Blood Upon The Rose” and “In The Heart Of The Country”) tells the story of this country lad in a heart breaking and honest way.
It’s a story that could be told, should be told and will be told for future generations to appreciate and understand the horrors of those dark days of our recent past.
