A Chronicle of Jails

Darrell Figgis's book, 'A Chronicle of Jails', is a personal account of his arrest and internment in Ireland and Britain after the 1916 Rising. As an Irish writer, Sinn Féin activist, and independent parliamentarian in the Irish Free State, Figgis's experiences shed light on the political and social climate of the time. Despite his significant contributions, his works have been largely ignored in Irish popular culture, making this memoir an important piece of historical literature.
