Description

The declassified files reveal a complex and often fraught history. Formed in 1970 as a locally raised militia, the Ulster Defence Regiment evolved into the largest regiment in the British Army. For some, service was a noble act; for others, it was a source of hostility and violence. Declassified records from Number 10, the MoD, and the NIO provide a unique insight into the UDR's role in Northern Ireland. The British establishment's views on the regiment are stark: they saw them as a 'dangerous species of ally'. This book sheds light on the truth behind this traumatic period. By uncovering these declassified files, Micheál Smith offers a powerful exposé of the UDR and its place in British history.
