Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. In the Hands of the Enemy. Mark Barnsley is one of Britain's 'Secret' political prisoners, a hostage of the State. In 1994 he was attacked by 15 middle-class students, and ended up sentenced to 12 years in prison for supposedly attacking them. This was no 'accidental'miscarriage of justice, but a calculated move by the British State to 'take out' a political activist, a long standing thorn in their side. This book takes over where Beaten Up, Fitted Up, Locked Up, the first Justice for Mark Barnsley pamphlet, left off. Using articles written by friends, comrades, fellow-prisoners, and by Mark himself, this book tells the story of a political prisoner described by Prisons Minister Paul Boateng as 'a major ringleader for prisoners unrest', and exposes the depths that the State will go to deal with it's enemies. If, no matter how light-heartedly, you've ever classed yourself as an enemy of the state, you should read this before it's too late, and you too find yourself In the Hands of the Enemy.
