Gerry Adams is one of the most controversial leaders of our time, he led his community in the North of Ireland from conflict to peace.
Adams was a critical voice in the decision taken by the IRA to lay down their arms after their 25-year war against the British. Imprisoned and shot, he was demonised and censored by dominant media as a subversive and terrorist, yet the British and their allies were forced to recognise his legitimacy and negotiate with him and Sinn Féin, the Irish peace accord, ‘The Good Friday Agreement’.
A private man, this is the first time, Adams sits down to tell his story, from a teenage activist to party leader. Today, he is an elder statesman supporting the next generations on their path toward Irish unity.
