How did Gerry Adams grow from a revolutionary street activist - in perpetual danger of arrest and assassination - into the leader of Sinn Féin, with intimate access to the British and Irish prime ministers and the US president? And how did he outlast them all?

Drawing on newly available intelligence and scores of exclusive interviews, Malachi O'Doherty's meticulously researched biography sheds light on the history of this extraordinary shape-shifter. O'Doherty's experience as a journalist, as a correspondent during the peace process and as a commentator on Northern Irish affairs, informs this authoritative account of one of the world's most controversial politicians.

Telegraph and to several BBC radio programmes. He covered the troubles and the peace process as a journalist and has written for several Irish and British newspapers and magazines, including The Irish Times, the New Statesman, The Scotsman, and The Guardian. This is his seventh book.
