The cover of 'Our Martin'
A new book on the life of Martin McGuinness is to be launched in Derry later this month, it has been confirmed.
Entitled ‘Our Martin, Irish Republican Martin McGuinness’ the book has been written by James McVeigh, himself a former IRA prisoner and Sinn Féin Council Group Leader in Belfast.
Featuring contributions from the former Deputy First Minister’s family and closest friends, the book sheds new light on the life of one of the most pivotal figures in modern Irish history.
The author commented: “Martin McGuinness was a towering figure in Irish Republicanism and modern Irish history.
“His contribution to peace, freedom and to reconciliation, not just here but in other conflicts around the world is immeasurable which is why his legacy is still felt so strongly today.
“But he was also a father, a family man and a fiercely proud Derry man who was always more at home on a riverbank with a fishing rod than he was on the global political stage.
“This book hopes to show Martin how he was and to tell his story as it was lived by those who knew him best and who were with him throughout his incredible life of struggle and service.”
The Derry launch will take place on July 23 in the Guildhall at 7.00pm.
