Gerry Adams led his community in the North of Ireland from conflict to peace. Adams was a critical voice in the decisions by the IRA to call cessations and put weapons beyond use after 25-years of conflict with the British state. 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 on what led to '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.
