{"product_id":"the-maze-prison-tom-murtagh-9781909976504","title":"The Maze Prison: A Hidden Story of Chaos, Anarchy and Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Maze Prison\u003c\/em\u003e shows how an establishment built to hold those involved in terrorism, atrocities, murder and allied crimes became a pawn in the partisan conflict that was Northern Ireland. There followed a breakdown of norms, values and control as the last of these shifted from Governors to Ministers, outside officials and even prisoners. This led to the (often random) killing of prison officers and countless allegations, denials and obfuscations, as Prison Rules came into conflict with claims to be treated as prisoners-of-war or be given Special Category status. A social document \u003cem\u003epar excellence\u003c\/em\u003e, this stark slant on The Troubles and Peace Process cuts through the propaganda and base politics to reveal the truth about the H-Blocks, hunger-strikes, escapes and power struggles. Based on actual records and personal accounts, it challenges myths and legends to warn how easily a community can descend into what the author calls \u003cem\u003eanomie\u003c\/em\u003e. An invaluable record of 'One of the most dangerous prisons in the world'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Murtagh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909976504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909976504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Waterside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.65d","brand":"Tom Murtagh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937409564927,"sku":"9781909976504","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7bc77bef-aa40-42ac-b9fd-caf22c84220f.jpg?v=1681429894","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-maze-prison-tom-murtagh-9781909976504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
