Description
Billy Hutchinson's life was marked by turmoil and transformation. In the late 1960s, he grew up in a sectarian Belfast, and by the early 1970s, he had joined the UVF. At just 19, he was sentenced to life in prison, an experience that would shape his future. It was in the Long Kesh prison camp that he first encountered Gusty Spence, a loyalist icon who would have a lasting impact on his life. After his release, Hutchinson became involved with the Progressive Unionist Party and played a key role in the negotiations that led to the Belfast Agreement. This book is a candid and honest account of his extraordinary life, revealing previously hidden episodes of the Northern Ireland Troubles and the negotiations that followed. From his early days as a UVF prisoner to his later work as a politician and councillor, Hutchinson's story is one of transformation and redemption.
