These are Gerry Adams's powerful memoirs of Long Kesh prison, where he & hundreds of others were interned by the British for years on end, without charges or trial. He brings to these tales his talent, as THE LISTENER described it, as "a natural storyteller, with a warm & agile wit." The IRISH PRESS described CAGE ELEVEN as "by turn wry, humorous, passionate, & self-mocking." The TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT praised this book's evocative & often witty cameos of prison life & described CAGE ELEVEN as "a portrait of militant Republicanism. The men do not see themselves as criminals, but as prisoners of war....This is an important book for understanding the strength of that tradition." Gerry Adams is President of Sinn Fein, & was elected MP for Belfast from 1983 to 1992. He never took his seat in London, however, in protest over the British occupation of Northern Ireland. He has lived in West Belfast all his life, except for the years he was interned by the British. Introductions by Paul O'Dwyer, the spiritual father of Irish-American politics & human rights advocate, who was the President of the New York City Council & the city's Commissioner for the United Nations. Hardcover $11.45, softcover $7.95. Volume discounts available from publisher, Sheridan Squire Press, 145 W. 4th St., NY, NY 10012; 212/254-1061.… (more)
