Review
When the work of most of the participants in literature's yearly orgy of hype and hysteria has been consigned to history, Adams's slim volume will be alive and well. -- Sunday Press
Times Literary Supplement
Evocative and often witty cameos of prison life...an improtant book for understanding the strength of [Irish Republican] tradition.

Format:Paperback
This recollection of various times and events within the republican cages of Long Kesh evokes a range of emotions with each passing chapter. Some are incredibly witty, detailing the characteristics of particular inmates and the practical jokes that were played on them, whilst others convey the sense of despair that some inmates must have felt at their, sometimes lonely, existence. Nicknames are used throughout the book to spare the blushes of many of those characters mentioned within it, although I must admit that it would be interesting to know who the characters referred to as 'Cedric', 'Egbert' and 'your man' really were. In some ways Cage Eleven is a bit like reading an intellectual version of a Hogan's Heroes screenplay, but it is much more interesting and thought provoking than that. A recommended read.

After reading Before the Dawn I attacked this book with as much vigour.
Again another must read. Once again the word Brutal comes easily to mind. The suffering of the people incarcerated is beyond belief and happening in the 20th century in civilized Europe is a wake up call. There was no media outrage then as there is now in other wars abroad. NI history brushed under the carpet, an embarassment to be kept hidden.
Again the read made me cry, laugh and disgusted in parts. The ghost scene was eerie.
Another compulsive read and a story well told.

I thought the author was "holding" back.His very very very limited and slanted view of 'YER MAN' was nothing short of revenge over a stupid coat.
