Description
The Secret History of the IRA: Gerry Adams and the Thirty Year War For decades, a campaign of extraordinary duration and inventiveness has shaped the history of the British and Irish conflict. At the heart of this campaign lies a complex and influential figure: Gerry Adams. Moloney's book provides a nuanced exploration of Adams' role in the IRA, from the outbreak of the troubles to the present day. The book is now updated to encompass the anxious and uneasy peace that has prevailed to 2007. Moloney's account raises important questions about the IRA's actions and the factors that contributed to Adams' rise to prominence. This is a thought-provoking and insightful study of a pivotal moment in modern history. 624 pages, paperback.
