Description
Eamon Collins' account of his involvement in the IRA is a rare and unflinching look at the inner workings of a paramilitary group. He recounts the meticulous planning and execution of numerous killings, including the largest massacre of RUC men in the history of the state. Collins' role as Intelligence Officer allowed him to spot, track, and arrange the murder of victims, often months in advance. This book offers a unique perspective on how anger can be channeled into the service of revolutionary nationalism, and how it can lead to the rationalization of violent acts. Collins' honesty about the banality and tragic waste of the armed struggle provides a stark contrast to the romanticized portrayals often associated with this period. Through Collins' account, the reader is presented with a nuanced exploration of the complexities of violence and its consequences.
