Description

Gerry Adams' personal account of his time in Long Kesh prison offers a unique insight into the experience of internment during the 1970s. As a civil rights activist, Adams was interned without charge or trial, alongside hundreds of others, for his political activities. This updated edition includes a new introduction and sketches drawn by another prisoner at the time. Written while Adams was a prisoner, Cage Eleven is a personal and often humorous account of life in Long Kesh. The pieces were smuggled out for publication, providing a rare glimpse into the resilience and humour of those who endured this period. A powerful and thought-provoking read, this book sheds light on a significant chapter in Irish history. A new edition featuring a new introduction and additional sketches, this book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the internment era and its impact on those who lived through it.
