Irish Voice: The Quest for Peace (Revised)

In 1992, Gerry Adams was invited by Irish Voice publisher Niall O'Dowd to write a weekly column for the paper. The articles began as a series of reports from Belfast on the state of Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican movement, but soon developed into a chronicle of the emerging peace process. The first talks with the other main Nationalist leader, John Hume, through the first IRA ceasefire and the subsequent visit by President Clinton to Northern Ireland were related to the world for the first time through these essays. An Irish Voice seamlessly collects many of these important articles under one cover, presenting a document that will provide history with a firsthand account of the modern Irish Republican movement and the peace process in Ireland.
