## Resource

A new book exposes the brutal legacy of Johnny Adair and C Company, revealing how their terrorism shattered communities across Northern Ireland — loyalists and nationalists alike. Dr. Aaron Edwards argues Adair’s repeated imprisonments in the 90s may have been pivotal to the peace process, though today he claims to support it — a reality forced upon him by public demand for peace. Once fueled by revenge after IRA assassination attempts, Adair became a radicalizing force who inflicted lasting trauma, especially in Belfast’s poorest neighborhoods. While he denies supplying explosives and calls allegations false, his influence still echoes through generations scarred by violence.
