In 1986 Gerry Adams published 'The Politics of Irish Freedom', his personal statement of the meaning and motivation of Irish Republicanism. In this new book he updates his earlier work and brings his account of Republican politics up to the present day. Against a background of tumultuous upheaval in Northern Ireland, he discusses the role of Republicanism in creating conditions for peace, looks at the future of Ireland and examines the position of the other key players in securing change.
