A Secret History of the Ira Summary

A Secret History of the Ira by ed Moloney

'Ed Moloney's authoritative and devastating Penguin history of the IRA is just around the corner' SUNDAY TIMES 11.12.01 For decades the British and Irish have 'got used to' a situation without parallel in Europe: a cold, ferocious, persistent campaign of bombing and terror of extraordinary duration and inventiveness. At the heart of that campaign lies one man: Gerry Adams. From the outbreak of the Troubles to the present day he has been an immensely influential figure. The most compelling question about the IRA is: how did a man who condoned atrocities that resulted in huge numbers of civilian deaths also become the guiding light behind the peace process?
