Description
Kitson's Irish War: The Dirty War in Northern Ireland
David Burke's book uncovers the evidence behind the British government's attempts to cover up the deaths of civilians in Northern Ireland, most of whom had no connection to paramilitary activities. The book reveals the role of Brigadier Frank Kitson, a counter-insurgency specialist, in the clandestine war waged against Nationalists while ignoring Loyalist atrocities.
Kitson's Irish War sheds light on the establishment of the Military Reaction Force, the deployment of psychological warfare techniques, and the Bloody Sunday massacre, among other key events. The book draws on previously discounted evidence and new sources to build a compelling narrative of the events leading up to and surrounding the massacre.
