- Episode 7 of 7
The story of how the Troubles ended.
How the UK government policy changed, from seeking to destroy the IRA to bringing it to peace. And how secret talks, doublespeak and smart tactical manoeuvring ensured that Gerry Adams was able to persuade the IRA to go with the deal.
In this final episode of the series, reporter Darragh MacIntyre hears the inside story of the peace process from within the IRA and the British government.
He discovers new information about the internal battle for control of the IRA during the most delicate days of the peace process and learns about the scale of secrecy that still surrounds the conflict.
John Hume. The man was a colossus of intellect, integrity, and humility. One of the men of the 20th Century without doubt.
You gotta give Adams some credit. Nobody could have pretended that they weren't part of the IRA for as long as he did.
superb series - bravo. just binge watched all 7 episodes. shocking atrocities committed by both sides.
Great documentary series! As for Gerry Adams and whether he is or isn't in the IRA, it seems odd that with all the spies and informants in the IRA, none that I know of have confirmed Adams' membership. Several former members have fingered him, but no one from the British side. However, if MI 5 does have a lot of secret files squirreled away, the truth may be hidden there. Whatever the answer is, Adams and McGuinness deserve credit for ultimately steering the Republican movement towards peace.
Like said in the video it's quite easy to understand why it all kicked off,unionist domination, unbelievable injustice and suppression of the nationalist community. The ira became the result of this then countered by the loyalist terrorists. The innocent people got caught up unfortunately. A sad period caused by colonial plantation which could only cause long term problems. Now its for all in Northern Ireland to determine their own future. Peace always I hope
no mention of mo mowlam. The work she did deserves a medal.
Gerry Adams was never a member of the IRA, even though he was. Lol
BBC documentary making is just unparalleled, when they really try it’s incredible. This and The Death of Yugoslavia are the best war documentary series out there.
A Brilliant series, and surprisingly balanced for BBC, shocking to hear about the British Collusion with Paramilitaries, i hope justice is done
Just let sleeping dogs lie. What’s done is done. Focus on peace and the future.
