Product Description
The true stoy of a tragic love affair between an heroic SAS operative and an IRA terrorist. Scott Graham was decorated for hereoism in Northern Ireland and the Falklands, and he fought battles in which more than a dozen IRA terrorists were killed. Mairead Farrell was petite, young and darkly beautiful and she planted bombs for the IRA. Together the two shared a deadly and terrible secret. They loved one another, against the taboos of both their armies, for 14 years. The clandestine love affair reached its crescendo with one of the most controversial incidents in the history of the SAS.

Format:Hardcover
A true love story in every sense of the word..... the only problems being one of the partners was a badged member of the SAS and the other a convicted IRA terrorist. No one could deny their love for each other and this is a real absorbing read. A must for anyone who likes books of this genre.

Without doubt the most compelling and heart wrenching book I have ever read.As well as detailing the story of an SAS soldier's love affair with an IRA terrorist the book also tells of the authors role in the Falklands conflict and the Loughgall ambush and provides a valuable insight into the thinking of the person who was one of the IRA's most prominent members.

I read alot of Military books on soldiers personel expierences and have a big interest in the Northern Ireland conflict so was keen to get my hands on this book, but after reading the first few chapters i realised that it wasnt the usaual kind of book i read the best way i can describe it is a " mans, man" love story with a twist, a PARA/SAS man sleeping with the enemy,madly in love with Mairead Farrell a IRA Vol who was one of the three killed in Gibralter.
All the same dont be put off its was a great book and found myself being sucked in and not able to put it down , a honestly written book for us manly men who doesnt want to admit we've got a feminine side he he

A totally incredible story!
