Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Billy McMillen was an Irish republican activist and an officer of the Official Irish Republican Army. He was killed in 1975, in a feud with the Irish National Liberation Army, which had broken away from the OIRA. McMillen was born in Belfast in 1927 and joined the IRA at age 16 in 1943. During the IRA's Border Campaign, he was interned and held in Crumlin Road jail. In 1964, he ran in the British general election as an Independent Republican candidate. The term Independent Republican was used owing to the legal ban on Sinn Féin. When McMillen placed the Irish tricolour in the window of his election office in the lower Falls area, this sparked a riot between republicans, loyalists and the Royal Ulster Constabulary. There had been tensions on the issue since the government of Northern Ireland banned the flying of the tricolour
