Explanation As Books A Secret History of the IRA

For decades the British and Irish had '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: GerryAdams. 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? Moloney's book is now updated to encompass the anxious and uneasy peace that has prevailed to 2007.

After seeing 'Hunger' last night my passion for all things Irish has been ignighted!This is more a history of Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein. A little disapointing actually.

Ed Moloney tackles a huge subject with his "A Secret History of the IRA". The title is sensationalist but the book is written in a very dry, practical way. Moloney is a journalist who got close to different people in the IRA structure and has been following their moves throughout the Troubles of the 1960s through the 1990s.

"A Secret History of The IRA" is an eye opener. Being Irish American I have always appreciated the IRA as freedom fighters. After reading this book, I am forced to call them ruthless. I do not mean that as a compliment. holding a family hostage while you blow up their daddy is despicable. So is shooting a widow with nine children in the back of the head because the IRA thought she was spying. Gerry Adams is the most ruthless of them all, is despicable, and liar. He will do anything to make the

Significant amount of disclosure in this book - excellent read, so informative.

A secret history of Gerry AdamsA fascinating insight of how Gerry Adams managed to lead the Provo's to a ceasefire.Also explains why Adams has always publicly denied being a member of the IRA. Gives credit to Alec Reid and Charles Haughey, along with John Hume in facilitating the development to the Peace Process. Required reading for students of the Troubles.

Interesting, if perhaps not quite what I expected. Lots of backstory and history of Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein, which is of course an important part of the story, but it's missing a lot of the foreground. I suppose that's the point of calling it the "secret history," but I found it doesn't stand very well as a history on its own.

I read this book for academic and professional purposes. I ended up putting it done with a personal outlook on things that affected me so personally I ended up being removed from them entirely. Ed Moloney was as bold as to write the account of his twenty years spent undercover in the IRA as a novel, mixing personal stories of leaders and Irish history with a respectful distance. Never does he indulge into unnecessary judgement or overwhelming sensitivity, which is a testament to his talent as a
