Product Description

Product Description

To Loyalists, Michael Stone is an idol and an icon. His name and face are painted on walls across Belfast. His desire to remove Adams and McGuinness from the political spectrum has turned him into a local super-hero. A meticulous killing machine, he executed six men, whose deaths were claimed under different Loyalist groupings, and when justice finally caught up with him he was sentenced to 800 years in prison. Twelve years later, he left a free man, renounced terrorism, apologised for the suffering he had caused and said the fledgling peace process was the only way forward. This is his own true story...


About the Author

Michael Stone was born in East Belfast in 1955. In 1988 he was sentenced to 800 years in prison. He served twelve years in the Maze prison before being released under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement. He is now an artist, and proponent of the peace process.

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting with some exaggerations, 5 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: None Shall Divide Us (Hardcover)
Stone takes us through his youth. He left school without skills and used his brawn and aggression to fit into life in the Protestant Braniel estate. His aggressive nature was quickly exploited by a UDA godfather and loyalist paramilitaries served as an outlet for his innate psychopathic tendencies. His obsession with firearms and killing lead him down the road to risk and failure.

Stone provides an interesting insight to the corruption, greed and incompetence of most of his UDA/UFF colleagues. He makes some compelling exposures; the Israeli supplied weapons to loyalists in N Ireland and a servicing RUC police officer transported Stone and his weaponry used in the cemetery murders. His getaway driver betrayed him. The sudden arrival of the unmarked white police van on the motorway, is not explained. He repeatedly appeals to the reader to accept the softer humanitarian components of his persona.

Stone exaggerates his technical knowledge, ability and bravado throughout the book. None-the-less his actions in Milltown cemetery took bravery considering his slim chance of survival. While he lambastes the RUC, he is careful never to disclose collusion and the source of his intelligence dossiers used to target and kill active republicans and innocent Catholics alike. He had other forms of official help that he does not want to disclose.

His assessment and description of fellow hit man Johnny Adair as an insecure, media hungry fool is interesting and entertaining.

The book ends with Stone's conversion from sectarian murderer to a pacifist artist. Who are we to judge the accuracy of this claim? By comparison Martin Dillon's book Stone Cold provides a more succinct portrayal of Michael Stone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 27 Oct 2004
By Rachel (England) - See all my reviews
I read this book on holiday and even though it was easy to read and very interesting i dont think it gives much of an insight into the truth. Details seem to have been embelished and Michael Stone makes out he was the best at EVERYTHING! I think this book is only loosely based on the truth. Never the less it was a good book and i found it hard to put down. I would suggest to people reading this book not read too deeply into the content but just enjoy a good read!

1.0 out of 5 stars Obviously ghost written by a News Of the World journalist!, 21 Oct 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: None Shall Divide Us (Hardcover)
This book is one of the worst books I have ever read!It is ghost written by a News Of the World journalist and it really shows.I have read many books on the situation in N. Ireland and I feel that this isn't worth the paper it is printed on,never mind the cost price.Reading this book I felt that Stone had been reading too many Action Man and Dan Dare books.It reads like a child telling you some action fantasy he has made up to try and impress,but really it doesn't.I hope anyone from outside N.Ireland doesn't read this book,thinking it gives an insight into the situation here,because it's full of gaping holes in his stories.I cringed when reading the book,because it is such a load of rubbish.A far better book about the subject is Stone Cold by Martin Dillon.The only thing I can say about None Shall... is that I'm glad I read it to see how terrible it really is.If I could give it no stars I would.
