Long before he became President of Sinn F¨¦in, Gerry Adams was a civil rights activist who took part in sit-ins, marches and protests in Northern Ireland. Along with hundreds of other men, Adams was interned on the Maidstone prison ship and in Long Kesh prison ¨C without charge or trial ¨C during the 1970s for his political activities. Women were interned also, in Armagh Women¡¯s Prison. Cage Eleven is his own account ¨C sometimes passionate, often humorous ¨C of life in Long Kesh. Written while Adams was a prisoner, the pieces were smuggled out for publication.
This updated edition includes a new introduction and sketches drawn in Cage Eleven by another prisoner at the time, Danny Devenny.
¡®Offers a unique insight into ¡ the experience of internment ¡ an unrivalled representation of the resilience and humour that were as much a part of the life of the political prisoner as the adherence to a set of political ideals.¡¯ Irish Herald
