{"product_id":"volunteer-book-shane-paul-o-doherty-9780006276159","title":"The Volunteer","description":"In 1974, at the age of 20, Shane O'Doherty was sentenced to 30 life sentences at the Old Bailey. He was a terrorist who, single-handedly, had conducted a letter-bomb campaign on behalf of the IRA, during which two people had lost their hands and a further ten were injured in other ways. Previously, O'Doherty had been the IRA's chief bomb-maker. After 15 months in prison, and with the help of Quaker literature, he reached the conclusion that violence was utterly wrong. He declared his new-found pacifism in a letter to the Londonderry Press, and requested - and was allowed - to send apologies to his victims. He was eventually released from prison in 1989. In this book, O'Doherty provides an anatomy of an IRA terrorist and pleads for a cessation of the continuing atrocities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49587314688273,"sku":"GOR000969226","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49612014649617,"sku":"GOR001308616","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49656376721681,"sku":"GOR001654977","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0006276156.jpg?v=1750938754","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/volunteer-book-shane-paul-o-doherty-9780006276159","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
