There are names from the 19th century, from the 1920's and the civil war, the forties and fifties, the sixties, and then each year of the 1970's, the hunger strikers of 1981, and then right up unti lthe date of publication (the mid 1980's). An index at the rear of the book lists all the names in alphabetical order, and the book represents a fascinating and immensley useful reference work.
