Richard O'Rawe was a senior IRA prisoner in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh Prison. One of the 'Blanketmen', he took part in the dirty protests that led to the hunger strikes of the early 1980s. In Blanketmen, O'Rawe gives his personal account of those turbulent times that saw British and Irish governments entering unprecedented negotiations with the IRA Army Council and the prisoners themselves.

He has been married to Bernadette for forty years, has three grown-up children, and still lives in west Belfast.
