Biography; Biography: historical, political & military; Politics & government

A compelling appraisal of one of the most controversial figures in Irish politics that draws on exclusive new interviews and intelligence.

From fanatical, revolutionary street politician in perpetual danger of arrest and assassination, Adams became a political leader with access to the British and Irish Prime Ministers and the US President, and a key player in the delicate work of peace-making. While admired as a statesman around the world, he is still reviled by many at home who believe he is a liar, a terrorist, and that thousands might have been spared horrible deaths if he had come to peaceful ideas earlier.

Drawing on newly available intelligence and scores of interviews, Malachi O'Doherty has crafted a meticulously researched biography of this extraordinary shape-shifter.
