In 1981, ten young men starved themselves to death in a prison on the outskirts of Belfast.
They were all members of the Irish Republican Army, and had been protesting their right to be treated as political prisoners. Their deaths shocked the world.
The Hunger Strikes made martyrs of the young republican men who died and were the apex of a thirty year conflict in Ireland that – by its conclusion – had claimed the lives of 3,500 people, and gained a euphemism: The Troubles.
The strikes also marked the moment that a little-known nationalist fringe group named Sinn Féin was catapulted from obscurity into the mainstream.
Four decades later, Sinn Féin made history when it won the popular vote in the Ireland’s 2020 General Election and came within touching distance of taking power on both sides of the Irish border.
Now, with the country on the eve of another election, Sinn Féin should be riding high in the polls. Instead, they are bogged down in chaos and disorder.
Criticised for failing to come up with a coherent policy on immigration, and dogged by allegations of sexual abuse and internal cover-ups. Their election prospects look dubious, at best.
Whatever you think of them, Sinn Féin remain one of the most consequential political movements in recent history, and, more so than any other political party, their political fortunes remain irrevocably shaped by their past.
To understand Sinn Féin, you have to go back to their roots.
In this limited series launching on November 22, political editor John Lee, who has been covering Sinn Féin for three decades, explores the history of the conflict that came to be known as the Troubles to understand where Sinn Féin came from, and where it might be going.
He has spoken to key players from both sides of the Irish border, including current and former politicians, peace activists, former Provisional IRA members and ordinary civilians.
And he has asked them all... who are Sinn Féin, really?

D-Day: The Longest Day and Beyond The pre-dawn darkness of June 6th, 1944, hung heavy over the choppy waters of the English Channel. Aboard thousands of ships crammed with Allied soldiers, a nervous tension crackled in the air. This was D-Day, the culmination of years of planning and sacrifice, a gamble for freedom that would rewrite the course of World War II. This article delves not only into the strategic brilliance and tactical execution of the invasion but also the human stories, technological advancements, and lasting impact of this defining moment in history. The Road to D-Day: A Logistics Marvel Operation Overlord, the code name for the Normandy invasion, was a logistical marvel. After the brutal Eastern Front stalemate, the need for a second front in Europe to relieve pressure on the Soviets was paramount. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander, shouldered the immense responsibility of planning and executing a large-scale amphibious assault against heavily fortified German defenses. Months of meticulous planning went into assembling a vast armada. Over 7,000 ships, ranging from mighty battleships to nimble landing craft, were gathered across British ports. The human component was equally staggering. Nearly 3 million troops from the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and other Allied nations trained tirelessly for the amphibious assault. Maintaining secrecy was vital. Operation Bodyguard, an elaborate deception plan, aimed to mislead the Germans about the invasion's location and timing. Fake radio traffic and inflatable tank battalions were deployed to suggest a landing attempt elsewhere, most notably near Calais, France. Individual Stories: Facing the Unknown Beyond the grand strategy, D-Day was about the courage of individual soldiers facing unimaginable challenges. Private John Miller, a young American paratrooper from the 101st Airborne Division, clutched a picture of his wife and newborn baby as he boarded the C-47 transport plane. Fear gnawed at him, but the thought of a free Europe and a future for his family fueled his resolve. Across the channel, Sergeant James Evans, a seasoned British commando, readied his squad for the assault on Gold Beach. He was a veteran of North Africa and Italy, but the scale of D-Day filled him with a sense of foreboding. Technological Advancements: Tools for Liberation The success of D-DD depended not just on strategy but also on the technological advancements employed by the Allies. Landing craft, nicknamed "Ducks," were specially designed amphibious vehicles capable of navigating rough seas and depositing troops directly onto the beaches. The ubiquitous M4 Sherman tank, though vulnerable to German artillery, provided crucial mobile firepower for the infantry. Advances in communication, with portable radios allowing for better coordination between units, proved invaluable during the chaotic landings. On the other side, the Germans relied on a network of fortified bunkers equipped with heavy weaponry, creating a formidable defensive line. Enigma, the German encryption machine, had been cracked by Allied codebreakers like Alan Turing at Bletchley Park, providing crucial intelligence about German troop movements and defensive plans. The German Perspective: A Fortress Under Siege While the Allies meticulously planned the invasion, the Germans awaited their assault with a mixture of apprehension and confidence. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, tasked with defending the Atlantic Wall, recognized the vulnerability of the French coast but faced resource constraints and internal political struggles. German intelligence, misled by Operation Bodyguard, anticipated a landing at Calais and had concentrated their armored divisions there. The initial paratrooper drops behind enemy lines caused confusion and disruption, but the sheer volume of Allied troops eventually overwhelmed the German defenses. D-Day: A Day of Valor and Sacrifice Originally planned for June 5th, the invasion was postponed due to bad weather. Finally, on a cloudy and choppy June 6th, history unfolded. Paratroopers were airdropped behind enemy lines in the pre-dawn hours, tasked with disrupting German defenses and securing crucial bridges. Gliders carrying additional troops followed shortly after, their silent descent a prelude to the coming storm. As dawn approached, Allied warships bombarded the Normandy coast in a relentless barrage, softening German defenses. Landing craft filled with infantry soldiers then approached the beaches, a daunting sight that would be immortalized in history. The landings on the five designated beaches – code-named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword – unfolded with varying degrees of success. Utah Beach: A Surprise Victory Utah Beach, on the western flank, surprised the Germans with minimal resistance. The paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division had successfully secured key positions inland, and the German defenders were caught off guard. American troops landed relatively unscathed, establishing a foothold with minimal casualties. Omaha Beach: A Baptism by Fire However, on the eastern Omaha Beach: A Baptism by Fire (continued) Omaha Beach, code-named "Bloody Omaha" for a reason, became a scene of unimaginable carnage. Soldiers from the US 1st Infantry Division faced a literal wall of fire as they exited their landing craft. Heavy German fortifications, including pillboxes and barbed wire, rained down withering fire on the exposed troops. Obstacles like mines and underwater obstacles further hampered their progress. Casualties were staggering. Sergeant Evans, watching the unfolding horror from his landing craft on Gold Beach miles away, could only imagine the hell his American counterparts were experiencing. Corporal William James, a young soldier in the 1st Infantry Division, waded ashore amidst the chaos. Bullets whizzed past his head, and the water churned red with blood. Fear threatened to paralyze him, but the desperate cries of his wounded comrades spurred him forward. He joined other soldiers in a desperate scramble for cover behind the meager protection offered by the seawall. Hours of intense fighting ensued, with American troops slowly pushing inland under the relentless German assault. By nightfall, Omaha Beach had been secured, but the cost was immense. Thousands of Allied soldiers lay dead or wounded on the blood-soaked sand, a stark reminder of the brutality of war. Beyond the Beaches: The Fight for Liberation While the landings were a critical first step, the Battle of Normandy was far from over. The following weeks saw brutal fighting as Allied forces pushed inland against fierce German resistance. Hedgerows, dense networks of shrubs and trees, became a defining feature of the battlefield, providing cover for German defenders and slowing the Allied advance. Tanks rumbled through the French countryside, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Air support played a crucial role, with Allied bombers pounding German positions. The bravery of the French Resistance fighters, who sabotaged German infrastructure and aided Allied forces, cannot be overstated. Private Miller, having survived the harrowing parachute drop, fought alongside his fellow paratroopers to secure key objectives behind enemy lines. Their initial disorientation and scattered landings hampered their effectiveness, but their tenacity and resourcefulness proved invaluable. Sergeant Evans, leading his commando unit on Gold Beach, spearheaded the assault on a heavily fortified German position. The battle raged for hours, with heavy casualties on both sides. Eventually, through sheer determination and combined arms tactics, the British forces secured their objectives and linked up with other Allied units. The Civilian Experience: Caught in the Crossfire The invasion wasn't just about soldiers; it had a profound impact on French civilians living under Nazi occupation. Madame Dubois, a French farmer whose home overlooked Omaha Beach, witnessed the horror of the landings firsthand. German soldiers had requisitioned her farmhouse, forcing her and her family into cramped quarters. The relentless bombardment of the beach filled her with dread. As American troops finally pushed inland, her relief was tinged with sorrow at the sight of fallen soldiers and the devastation wrought by the battle. The Home Front: A Nation Holds its Breath While Allied troops fought on the beaches of Normandy, families back home anxiously awaited news. Newspapers were plastered with headlines about the invasion, and radio broadcasts crackled with updates, often incomplete and confusing. Mrs. Miller, back in the United States, clutched a telegram with shaking hands. It simply stated that her husband was "wounded, non-life-threatening." Relief washed over her, but worry gnawed at her until she received another telegram confirming his recovery. Across the country, millions of families shared similar anxieties, their lives intertwined with the unfolding drama in Europe. The Long Shadow of War: A Legacy of Liberation and Loss D-Day marked a turning point in World War II, but the victory came at a heavy cost. Over 156,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy on June 6th, and over 10,000 casualties were sustained on that day alone. The Battle of Normandy raged for weeks, with an estimated total of 240,000 Allied and German casualties. The psychological scars of war ran deep, impacting veterans on both sides for years to come. The liberation of France opened the door for the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany. However, the war's devastation lingered. Rebuilding efforts took years, and the trauma of occupation left a lasting mark on French society. D-Day also ushered in the nuclear age. The use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 marked a grim escalation of warfare and a stark reminder of the potential consequences of future conflicts. Conclusion: A Beacon of Hope and Resilience D-Day stands as a testamen
