Place reservation for Rough beast : my story and the reality of Sinn FeinMairia Cahill is a refugee from Sinn Fein and the shadowy world of the IRA: her great-uncle Joe was one of the main founders of the Provisional IRA and her grandfather was Gerry Adams's mentor in the republican movement. From an early age she was destined for a glittering career within the increasingly successful political machine of Sinn Fein. But at the age of 16, she was sexually abused by a prominent Belfast IRA man. 'Rough Beast' is Mairia Cahill's harrowing story, which she tells here for the first time in detail and with unsparing honesty. It is a story of unimaginable trauma and paramilitary corruption. It brings to life a world of IRA secrecy and parallel laws, of ruthless power wielded by figures who have never been democratically elected, and of ex-gunmen inspiring fear and silence.
