Kevin Fulton's story is shocking and unique. He is the only double agent to have infiltrated the upper echelons of the Provisional IRA and agreed to tell his shocking story. No known spy has spent longer within the organisation or risen higher in its ranks than Kevin.In order to maintain his cover within one of the world's most feared terrorist groups, Fulton was forced to take part in some of its most heinous crimes, including making bombs that would kill and maim. So highly was he thought of by the IRA leaders that they made him a member of their feared internal police - ironically, his job was now to root out and kill informers.

Product Description
About the Author
In 1994, Fulton was forced to flee Northern Ireland after one if his operations compromised his safety. He was abandoned by the security forces and now lives like a fugitive. He decided to fight back by doing what his military chiefs thought he would never be brave enough to do - go public with his story.

an outstanding book,gives an alternative view to the northern ireland troubles.People putting their lives and their families lives, on the line to help the security forces and then being thrown to the wolves,when they were no longer of use.would love to hear the security forces side of the coin,but i think thats unlikely.Read many military biographies covering service in northern ireland,fascinating to get an alternative viewpoint.Makes you realise just how much went on that we'll never know about,but then so much is left out of british news nowadays that you'll get more info on what's going on in the world from foreign news channels.

This is a 'cracker' of a book. Some of the bits in it are almost unbelievable and at times I had no sympathy for Kevin but at other times, I felt so sorry for the poor man and just wanted him to 'get away and hide'. An eye opener. Loved it.

I have a few pages to go and the book is finished,and I will find it hard to put down. This book got it's five stars,half way through.
I have to be honest,and say,I expected it to be just like some of the others,that were based around,undercover work,but it's not. Mr Fulton,took a pride in saving peoples lives,but he also showed great compassion for those he didn't save. Political powers threw him into,a,situation,that he made the best of. How often have politicians,wasted lives,through wars,without not even being there.they did it centuries ago,and are still doing it now. I was in N I in the 70s,but not the same way as Mr Fulton was,and the things he describes,ring true,in every way. It's a shame that situations described in his book have to happen,but they did,and I say good on you Kevin,for doing a job,where a lot of people,would not know where to start,-including me-.You can't go out into the rain without getting wet,and I hope Mr Fulton has found somewhere to dry himself off,and get on with his life. -Good on you mate-

Dont like the idea of people simply trying to cash in, this is a typical example of that, mixture of truth and fantasy.
