Quotes by Richard O'Rawe  (?)

“But while Adams recognised that the war could not be won militarily, he also saw that simply to call it off would have made the republican movement directionless and politically irrelevant...It would have been another 'glorious defeat' for republicans to sing about as we faded into obscurity - and Adams was not about to sit back and let that happen. So he persevered with an armed struggle which, in my opinion, he didn't really believe, in the hope that some unforeseen event would come along to transform the fortunes of the republican movement.”
Richard O'Rawe, The Blanket Men
