This event will dig deep into the depths of state sponsored murder and corruption, offering unique insights into the dual roles played by key figures at the time. Kearney's story is one of determination, as he navigates through layers of secrecy to seek the truth and uncover ‘Stakeknife’
What to Expect:
* An in-depth look at the counter-insurgency war and the murky role of 'Stakeknife'.
* A personal and moving narrative of brotherhood and betrayal, vividly brought to life through Kearney's experiences, as chronicled in his book, "No Greater Love."
* Insights into Kearney's journey from a young volunteer to an IRA staff officer and his harrowing time on the blanket protest in the H-Blocks, and his firsthand account of the 1981 hunger strike.
* An open Q&A session where Seamus Kearney will discuss the broader themes of the war.
We look forward to hosting an event that promises to challenge perceptions and reveal the extreme measures the British state and their agents were prepared to take to infiltrate, disrupt, and destroy the IRA. Exposing how they turned a blind eye to torture and murder to protect the identity of Stakeknife.
Kearney's book "No Greater Love" serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression and is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the epic struggle of the Blanket Protest and Hunger Strike of 1981.
