Seamus Costello ((アイルランド語:Séamus Mac Coisdealbha), 1939 – 5 October 1977) was a leader of Official Sinn Féin and the Official Irish Republican Army and latterly of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) and the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA). He argued for a combination of socialist politics on economic issues and traditional physical force Irish republicanism. He is best remembered for the founding of the IRSP and the INLA. He was a victim of a feud with his former comrades in the Official IRA. ==Early life and IRA Border Campaign== Born into a middle-class family in Bray, County Wicklow, he was educated at Christian Brothers College, Monkstown Park. He left school at 15 and became a mechanic and later car salesman in Dublin. At the age of 16 he joined Sinn Féin and the Irish Republican Army. Within a year, he was commanding an active service unit in south County Londonderry during the Border Campaign, where his leadership skills and burning down of the courthouse in Magherafelt earned him the nickname of "the Boy General".〔Brian Hanley and Scott Millar, p. 25.〕 The unit's most publicised actions included the destruction of bridges.〔Brian Hanley and Scott Millar, p. 14.〕 He was arrested in Glencree, County Wicklow, in 1957 and sentenced to six months in Mountjoy Prison. On his release, he was immediately interned in the Curragh prison camp for two years.〔Brian Hanley and Scott Millar, p. 17.〕 He spent his time in prison studying. He was particularly inspired by his studies of the Vietnamese struggle for independence.〔(Biography ) retrieved 6 January 2010〕 He became a member of the escape committee which engineered the successful escapes of Ruairí Ó Brádaigh and Dáithí Ó Conaill, among others. Costello would later refer to this time as his "university days". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seamus Costello」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
