I listened to this last week, the old thought of had I been born to the otherside I'd have joined up too. It's a great body of work Patricia is doing.
ReplyDeletePatricia Devlin s series of Podcasts are a must listen.
ReplyDeleteAs was yours Anthony, Dixie s podcast gave great insight into the early years of the conflict, right through to the hunger strikes of 81, then came the disillusionment of the direction the Republican Movement eventually came to. I think John Crawley ( Former US Marine ) has just featured as well.
VFP - Patricia does a great job. I thought Dixie's was a must hear contribution. We don't always agree but he has always called it as he sees it. He will be the first recruit to the United Front Against Bullshit!!
DeleteThe podcast features some very good interviews. Dixie's is one of them. A very interesting life story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your testimony Dixie and contribution to the historical record, it's beyond powerful to have access to these find hand accounts of life in the H-Blocks. Well done to Patricia too.
