Reviews
"The role of British Intelligence in Ulster has never been so deeply explored... He writes clearly and knowledgeably about the impact on the IRA of the use of forensics by British Intelligence. He describes in detail the IRA's success in modifying and developing its own weapons, particularly mortars, and writes of the SAS's often lethal operations in Ulster with a kind of righteous anger not seen since American journalists inveighed against our role in Vietnam... Clearly well researched."-- Library Journal, "The book's strengths are its attention to detail and its direct, potent writing... A compelling introduction to a painful struggle."-- Publishers Weekly, "Geraghty has produced a book both readable and alarming. The first third is a well-observed account of a largely visible British war machine coping with the horrors of the Northern Ireland Troubles. The last third is devoted to militarism in Ireland up to 1921. But it is the middle third, the covert war, that astonishes. We learn that [British Intelligence] had a habit of enticing suspects away from home with lavish 'dodgy' holidays in the sun by faking breakfast-food competitions. While the target was away, the Security Service would plant a host of listening devices, which might include a miniaturized video camera inside a domestic light switch."-- Herald (Glasgow), ''Geraghty has produced a book both readable and alarming.
