Description
The Dirty War by Martin Dillon In 1969, Northern Ireland was gripped by rising tension, violence and change. The British army was deployed to the Bogside in Derry, leading to a short-lived truce. However, the Provisional IRA soon found itself engaged in an undercover war against the State forces. This book examines the complex roles played by the Provisional IRA, the State forces, the Irish Government and the British Army during this period. Dillon delves into the world of informers, agents and double agents, revealing disturbing facts about the way in which the terrorists and Intelligence Agencies target, undermine and penetrate each other's ranks. The result is investigative reporting at its best, containing startling disclosures that shed new light on previously inexplicable events. Through his investigative reporting, Dillon uncovers the truth behind the troubled period in Northern Ireland's history, making this book a compelling read for anyone interested in the subject.
