Product Description

Paul Bruce was a tough, idealistic young trooper in the SAS when he was dispatched to Northern Ireland. His squad's top-secret mission, code sign "Nemesis" - to execute unarmed IRA suspects in cold blood. Bruce and his squad shot down one terrified victim after another, leaving their bodies buried in unmarked woodland graves. Slowly they grew bitter at the sordidness of their assignment, yet worse was to follow with new orders from British military leaders, to forment sectarian violence by shooting down young men on the streets of Roman Catholic areas. This is Bruce's story.

1.0 out of 5 stars A heartbreaking work of staggering fiction, 7 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Nemesis File: The True Story of an Execution Squad (Paperback)

It is surprising that this poorly -written "memoir" hasn't been transferred to the "fiction" section. Since 1996, this book was discredited by the RUC and the author himself.This remains the only "SAS" book where the soldier did not have to undertake Selection in the normal manner, and basically operated in a "shoot to kill" scenario without trial. Readers should remember that even the Gibraltar shootings were dealt with in an inquest, along with many others (unlike this so-called "SAS" soldier). Pity there's no "no stars" section.

Bought this at the airport for a quick read and I must say a couple of chapters in the penny well and trully dropped.....This is garbage! My only regret is not reading here first. Should be banned under the trades description act!

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning - take with a huge helping of salt!, 7 July 2004

Solo Walker "SW" (UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The Nemesis File: The True Story of an Execution Squad (Paperback)

Superb read, absolutely unputdownable. Describes how a small unit of soldiers set about abducting and executing IRA men in the early days of the troubles. The dead men were buried in woods and conifers planted on top of them so - rather conveniently - the bodies could never be found again.

After the book was published, the author was interviewed by the RUC and he admitted the story was fiction.

There is absolutely no proof whatsoever to substantiate his claims - surely if people disappeared someone somewhere would want to know where they went and why they vanished.

This is definitely worth reading but do not believe it.

1.0 out of 5 stars I don't think so
I didn't quite know where to start. By the time I was 2 chapters in to it, I wished I hadn't. If it's the SAS you want to read about give this one a miss. Read more
