Description



About the Book



Adams' memoir of growing up in the Falls Road area of West Belfast begins with a historical overview of the city and the development of the political situation there. He describes his years growing up in a city torn by sectarian strife and the effect it has had on his politics and life's work. 12 illustrations.



Book Synopsis



Falls Road looks completely different now from when Gerry Adams was a child living on it. Many of the businesses, houses, and landmarks have been demolished in favor of new developments. Even when Adams first wrote his memoir of Falls Road in 1982, many of these places were still around--a point Adams makes very clearly in his foreword to this most recent edition.



Review Quotes




Adams has written a lovely volume that is valuable not only for its content and vision but for the glimpse it offers into what makes him--politician and revolutionary--tick.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
