Inside the rise of the political party, once subordinate to the IRA, that is on the brink of taking power in Ireland

Sinn Féin is the most popular political party in both Northern Ireland and the Republic. A movement once synonymous with a paramilitary campaign is on the brink of taking real power through purely democratic means. But if Sinn Féin has mastered the art of electoral politics, it remains strangely opaque. Who really runs the party? How is it funded? And what can we expect of it as a party of government?

Aoife Moore, Irish Journalist of the Year in 2021, explores these and other burning questions in The Long Game. Drawing on exclusive interviews with current and former members of Sinn Féin, she builds up a picture of a party undergoing a profound, and still incomplete , transformation. She looks at the key individuals and moments that put the party on its present course, and she explores tensions within the party and the wider republican movement.

Packed with revelatory details, The Long Game is a groundbreaking telling of contemporary Ireland's biggest and most elusive political story.

There were a lot of things that I didn't know but also quite a lot that I had forgotten. No political party can be fully trusted; TDs, MPs and MLAs should represent their constituency and the people who voted for them rather than a political party they belong to.

An insight and a reminder

I was recommended this book by a colleague in the North for developing a better understanding of Sinn Féin North and South.

It was a hard listen in some parts. Depictions of an innocent Catholic being forced to be effectively a suicide bomber outside Derry and the description of the harrowing after effects on victims of the London bombings will live with the listener for a long time.

These hard sections are worth it for keeping in mind where Sinn Féin have come from and the (hopefully) exclusively peaceful direction they are going.

A hard listen in parts but really worthwhile

A very good summary of the history of Sinn Fein and all that goes along with it.
Gives a very good insight to the workings of a party that never truly reveals itself. As someone who has grown up and voted for Sinn Fein, it has been interesting to get a look behind the curtain into the people and players. To be honest nothing in the book comes as a surprise, but well put together and presented.

Informative and interesting
