Description

Tony Simms' life story is a complex and often disturbing tale of right-wing extremism and loyalist paramilitarism. From his early days as a football hooligan to his involvement with the National Front and the BNP, Simms recounts his experiences with unflinching honesty. This book provides a unique insight into the links between British Nationalism and Ulster loyalism, and is not for the faint of heart. Simms' story takes him from the streets of Birmingham to the loyalist paramilitaries of Northern Ireland, and includes a first-hand account of the rise and fall of Johnny Adair. The book also explores the controversy surrounding "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland, and is a gripping and sometimes disturbing read. For those looking to understand the complexities of British Nationalism and Ulster loyalism, this book is a worthwhile read. With Simms' unique perspective and unflinching honesty, it provides a compelling and thought-provoking account of a period of great turmoil and upheaval.
