Gerry Fitt was a key political figure in Northern Ireland for over 20 years, yet there is no major historical evaluation of his contribution, nor of his legacy or place in the memory of the minority community there. Drawing on unpublished party and private papers, recently released Irish and British government papers, and interviews, this book studies the role of Gerry Fitt in the politics of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and examines the first decade of the party through the lens of his leadership.
