The Dark: Selected Writings of Brendan Hughes
The Dark contains selected writings and talks from former Irish Republican Army volunteer, political prisoner, and Hunger Striker, Brendan Hughes. Focusing on the time after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, this new collection amplifies a voice the political mainstream worked doggedly to silence. With incredible wit, Hughes' words illustrate the struggles of revolutionary life after the GFA, and describe how the Agreement was never intended for his class - the working class. In addition to a carefully curated selection of Hughes' own writings, The Dark includes new essays from Republican veterans close to Hughes, as well as two previously unpublished communications to Hughes' brother, Terry, dating from the 1980 and 1981 Hunger Strikes, graciously donated by the Hughes family.
"At different times of the year Brendan will be remembered for different things. But during the week of the Good Friday Agreement, he is remembered for his swift distillation of what the Agreement meant. It was he who coined the phrase Got Fuck All , a play on the GFA acronym. For someone who went under the moniker of The Dark , he brought remarkable light to bear on situations others tried to obfuscate. The Dark has bequeathed to posterity many of his thoughts, whether on the Irish Republican struggle, the poor, or the Palestinians. A man with faults, foibles - and feet not grounded in clay." -Anthony McIntyre, Ph.D., Former Provisional Irish Republican Army Volunteer and Political Prisoner, Writer, and Historian "Announcing the start of the 1980 Hunger Strike in Long Kesh, IRA OC Brendan Hughes stated, 'We come in search of a 32-county Socialist Republic.' He called the Strike off on December 18 th , saving the life of Sean McKenna, who had fallen into a coma. Above all else, Brendan Hughes was a freedom fighter with tremendous courage. He defied the British both insde and outside the prisons. And he died broken-hearted that his struggle had been sold out so cheaply by his former comrades." -Tony O'Hara, Lifelong Republican Socialist Activist, Former Political Prisoner, Author, and Musician
"Just as Brendan, we [...] must continue the unfinished struggle of our ancestors, who smashed the Vikings at Clontarf in 1014, who massacred the English lords at Glenmalure in 1580, who littered the streets around Mount Street Bridge with the bodies of British soldiers in 1916, and who, being deprived of any other weapon in the concentration camps of Long Kesh in 1981 decided to use their bodies to show the British they were not defeated. We must remain true to the Republic and honour Brendan Hughes's memory by fulfilling the cause for which he sacrificed so much. Just as the mortally wounded Cú Chulainn refused to die lying down, and bound himself to a tree, succumbing to his wounds warrior like with his sword in his hand, The Dark refused similarly. Although scarred in body and mind from years of torture in Britain's concentration camps he stood true to the Republic and refused to sell out. He remained unbowed, unbroken, and the name of The Dark will live on in the hearts of all those who believe in a 32-county Socialist Republic forever." -D. Óg, "GFA Generation" Republican, Organizer, and Writer

I started this book after hearing an interview about it on Millennials are Killing Capitalism where D. Óg, one of the publishers of the book, situates Hughes's politics and significance in the Irish republican (and socialist) struggle. I would highly recommend the interview alongside the book, because whereas the articles by Hughes and interviews with him in this book convey his politics, they are very short-form and leave you wanting more context, which I think the interview does a great job of providing.
The brevity and constraints of form notwithstanding, I thought this was a really important and timely book to be reading in this particular historical conjuncture, with the long legacies of so-called peace processes and the meaning of political hunger strikes both having new and changing resonances. I think this book is really important to read as a counter-narrative to the official line around the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) - or at least the one I learned in school - that sees it as a form of victory for the IRA and mutually agreed upon resolution to, if not the political questions surrounding irish republicanism, then at least the most protracted phase of armed struggle.
Hughes's opposition to the GFA, which he backronyms as 'got feck all', really resonates in this moment, particularly given the parallels with the Oslo accords. Both signed around the same time and claiming to provide a political path forward through peace rather than armed struggle, Hughes represents the faction in Ireland, like the rejectionist factions of the PFLP, Hamas, and others, who recognize that the agreements benefit a small class of elites while reentrenching the same overall colonial power dynamics that gave rise to the resistance in the first place. The book, and Hughes's writing, is painful not only because it is framed by this political betrayal but because it is also so personal to him and his lifelong struggle, given his former friendship with Gerry Adams and his personal involvement in the hunger strikes.
The hunger strikes are the second aspect of the book that feel incredibly relevant and also somewhat haunting. Today in the UK, prisoners for Palestine are starting an open-ended hunger strike that evokes - among other political antecedents in Palestine and elsewhere - the striking republicans in the north of Ireland, including Brendan Hughes. In the midst of organizing to try to support today's strikers, it is a bit ominous to read about Hughes's account of the strikes, and in particular the strong sense of regret that comes across in his speeches and writings. Likely influenced by the ultimate political outcome - the GFA and its sense of betrayal - as well as his personal trauma (Hughes seems to have suffered lifelong effects of his own strike), Hughes's recollections of the strike and their effect are anything but triumphant. Of course, the political and carceral context of the current strike, being initiated by prisoners incarcerated for taking action in support of Palestine, is far different, and the outcome is far from clear at this point.
In any case, needless to say I would recommend this book, particularly right now. I think Hughes is a really interesting figure - when I first came across him in Say Nothing he felt almost mythical or overly romantic, but in his own words and in the political context provided by Óg he really comes across as an organic intellectual, with a loyalty to the working class that could not be bought or corrupted. In that sense I see some parallels with figures like Basel al-Araj, in addition to the comparison to George Jackson that I believe was made in the podcast. I wish that there was an essay or piece in the book that went into a longer and deeper dive into his politics and worldview, but it is often in the nature of political actors like Hughes that more of their time is spent acting, and less in theorizing. I think that's good on the whole, even if it leaves posterity wanting more.

brendan hughes és més que un paramilitar, un soldat, un polític. brendan hughes és un heroi - un heroi de la classe obrera.
aquest recull és magnífic: delimita molt el marc ideològic que el movia, fa un anàlisi agudíssim del conflicte nord-irlandès i una previsió, que després s'ha vist encertada, del futur fastigosament socialdemòcrata de la mà del Sinn Féin. l'anima de l'IRA és brendan hughes, la legitimitat de la lluita armada és la seva esperança, la causa és el seu amor pel proletariat.
fa mal veure el devenir de la història, sempre cruel amb els lluitadors, ambs els justos. sempre cruel el que li van fer a brendan hughes: condemnarlo a la recança, condemnarlo a un record terrible, condemnarlo a veure's vell en un món encara més ferotge, encara més capitalista. un màrtir.
«We wanted control of the wealth in this country to rest with those who created it—working men and women» / «A love of people, a love of justice, a love of truth—and a hatred of power that gives privilege to the few and abuse to the many»

I've always been interested in the history behind the Troubles, and I've read many good books about the IRA and it's philosophy, but nothing has been as poignant, urgent, and well-written like this. Brendan Hughes has some interesting and worthy thoughts on revolution, capitalist capitulation, and Neo-empire.
Fascinating read for people who love revolutionary history -

Brilliant, finished it in about two days. Interviews and writings from Brendan Hughes who was the leader of the 1980 Hunger Strike.
Hughes slates the GFA and the direction of the Republican leaders and movement post GFA seeing the GFA as a defeat for the Republican movement and a win for the British government.
Hughes was sidelined and censored in the early 2000s for attempting to create a debate on the direction of the Republican movement and the defeat regarding Stormont, decommission and the RUC as-well as his continued support for a 32 County Socialist Democratic Ireland.

4.25
Mostly the rating is because of the nature of this book, there is a lot of repetition in this amongst the many short pieces/interviews by Hughes.
But otherwise, this is an important, albeit, bleak book. I wasn't too sure what to expect aside from Hughes' criticisms of the Good Friday Agreement (or as he called it, 'Got Fuck All'). There is that, but also an overwhelming sadness and anger at what happened to republican prisoners like Hughes.
In a way, the repetition helps to reinforce that, to hear again and again how Irish republicans like Kieran Nugent, one of the ones who started the blanket protest, effectively drank his life away under a bridge or that Hughes himself struggled to find employment, earning a pittance on building sites with Irish republican bosses, it is hard to digest considering the struggles and losses that Hughes talks about in the fight for a 32 county, socialist republic in Ireland.
Hughes tried to find ways around this, such as his work in the Irish Republican Writer's Group and the journal, Fourthwrite in 2000, with many essays in here addressing his desire for republican socialists to openly discuss, criticise and debate together.
Politically, Hughes is very much a republican socialist, with many essays decrying the war in Iraq and advocating for solidarity with Palestine. But this book isn't about developing a specific analysis or strategy, it is his own words as he tried to navigate a world that left behind so many Irish republicans to fend for themselves, unless they were lucky enough to be part of the 'Armani Suit Brigade.'
Hughes' love for the working class comes through in these essays though and that despite the hardship and bleakness that he and other republican socialists faced, that still shines through it all, an unwavering love and hope for workers and oppressed people.

Eu genuinamente não sei nem como começar essa review - que nem vai ser uma review, né, mas! - ou como continuar as leituras do ano depois desse livro.
Uma coleção de ensaios, entrevistas e discursos do Brendan Hughes pós o Hunger Strike e pós sua libertação, na sua maioria datados dos anos 2000-2006. Não tem como ler algumas coisas que ele escreveu/disse e não se sentir tocado pelo quanto ele lutou pela Irlanda e o quanto os esforços dele e de muitos como ele foram sufocados pelos invasores britânicos. Hughes faleceu acreditando que todas as perdas foram em vão. Isso... machuca demais.
Mas é um excelente livro e é uma pena que seja tão curto. Sinto que Brendan Hughes tinha muito mais para falar, especialmente olhando o estado das coisas no mundo hoje em dia.

“To my friends who ask why I speak out, this is the reason. A love of people, a love of justice, a love of truth - and a hatred of power that gives privilege to the few and abuse to the many.”
Powerful words from one of the most renowned names in the armed struggle.

Brendan Darkie Hughes - Provisional IRA volunteer, Officer Commanding of the Belfast Brigade and of the Republican prisoners in the H-Blocks, prisoner of war, blanket man, hunger striker, socialist, dissident Republican, freedom fighter, working class voice, true Irish hero… what else should I add?
“Never in the history of Republicanism was so much sacrificed and so little gained; too many left dead and too few achievements. […] I am simply questioning the wisdom of administering British rule in this part of Ireland. I am asking what happened to the struggle in all Ireland - what happened to the idea of a thirty-two county socialist republic. That, after all, is what it was all about. Not about participating in a northern administration that closes hospitals and attacks the teachers’ unions. […] Does thirty years of struggle boil down to a big room in Stormont, ministerial cars, dark suits and the implementation of the British Patten Report?”
“Twenty years ago they called me a Fenian bastard. I remain an unrepentant Fenian bastard. My Republicanism and hunger strike were against the British rule. I still refuse to conform to it or the views of those now administering it.”
“As long as there is one British soldier on this roof, I believe that people have a right to oppose that.“
“To my friends who ask why I speak out this is the reason. A love of people, a love of justice, a love of truth - and a hatred of power that gives privilege to the few and abuse to the many.”
Brendan, I’ll dedicate my PhD thesis to you.

I had no choice but to leave five stars for this review, and I’ll explain here.
While it can seem like a lot of the points are repetitive, you have to keep in mind this is a collection of writings. As you continue to read you get a great insight on the troubles in the North of Ireland, not just between the British and the Irish, but the internal issues IRA and provisional IRA.
One of my favorite points Hughes makes is how if you give someone a little bit of power for themself, they will take it and stretch it as far as they can go. Leaving all their beliefs and morals behind them, as well as the people they fought next to. That’s where Irish Republicanism is now. Men given a sliver of power, selling out to the British power for “peace” but what peace for all those who suffered and continue to suffer.
The Irish people continually brought the world’s largest power to the negotiation table multiple times. Just for a few people to sell out an entire movement.
Great book.

The Dark is really necessary as there is a lack of talk criticizing the Good Friday Agreement and general lack of socialist politics surrounding Ireland.
At the same time the book itself is deeply personal and many of its essays come from the same period (early 2000s) so it can be quite repetitive and probably requires a fair bit of knowledge of the events. If you have such, then the book itself is quite short and you'll blow through it quickly.
One thing i enjoyed was reading about a Provo who was so committed to socialism - particularly since some socialist circles nowadays will blanket coat the Provo's as being anti-such which is ridiculous. I do wish the book had more on what Hughes thought of the Official IRA and his and his comrades thoughts on other states.
Another great one from Iskra

I'd have bought this book for the great cover art, but I also wanted to read Brendan Hughes actually writings and interviews. I am a great fan of Say Nothing, both the wonderful book and the mini-series, which is the best adaptation of a book I've ever seen. The acting genius Anthony Boyle truly made the Dark come back of life. Hughes, though not a highly educated man, had a keen intellect and great courage. The years has he spent in prison, including time as one of the blanket men and the degradations they suffered at the hands of the British will never be forgotten. His friendship with Bobby Sands and his lost friendship with Gerry Adams are the stuff of legend. And I love this quote: "All of which leads me to believe that capitalism is the greatest "cheat of all." That statement is proven to be prophetic every passing day.

Interesting and engaging collection of essays and interviews of Brendan Hughes. The collection gave me more insight on the struggle of the Republicans in occupied Northern Ireland in the past and today. Also taught me some of the political history of the IRA and the republican movement.
However, I would've liked a more in-depth introduction of the history of the anti-colonial struggle of the Irish against the British. And more political clarification on particular terms like the "RUC", or Stormont, etc. that are being used among the socialist Republicans, what is the historical problem with Stormont from their political perspective for example. TL; DR: I would've liked more footnotes :)

Excellent book about 'the Dark' which was the name Brendan Hughes was known by during the Troubles. Most of it is his writings from around 2000 until his death. They are just so moving and sad and true. So much suffering and death and the country is still occupied by the British. Brendan's reflections on the Troubles and his part and his thoughts afterwards are very insightful and moving. I very much recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about the Irish and why they are still fighting for their independance.
