Description

The true story of a top secret British military intelligence unit in Northern Ireland during the Troubles has long been shrouded in mystery. MRF Shadow Troop reveals the untold truth about the Military Reaction Force, a covert counter-terrorist unit formed in 1971 and active until 1974. Simon Cursey, a former member of the unit, shares his personal account of his time with the group, including briefings, missions, and the complex web of politics and law-bending that surrounded their operations. With previously unseen documents and photographs, this book provides a fascinating and accurate historical text about the pioneers of counter-terrorism. For decades, speculation about the unit's existence and activities has dominated the media and political discourse. MRF Shadow Troop sheds light on the reality of the Military Reaction Force, a unit that played a significant role in the early days of British military intervention in Northern Ireland.
