This article presents information on the book "Days of Fear," by Frank Gallagher. It is opined that a great deal of the book must have been written in a state of delirium, when Frank Gallagher was the battleground of internal revolutions, a kind of "personal Mexico," as he calls himself. Frank Gallagher was one of the hunger strikers in Mountjoy Prison in 1920, and he kept this diary during his nine days' fast. He along with a man referred to as Philip in the book accepted full responsibility for the starvation of one hundred man and for the conditions on which they would consent to eat again.
