5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent study of British state's collusion with terrorists, 19 Jan 2007
By William Podmore (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Paul Larkin, an investigative journalist, made many films for Spotlight, BBC Northern Ireland's current affairs programme. The research for these films was the raw material for this outstanding book in which he details the British state's secret collaboration with loyalist paramilitaries.

He sums up, "The compelling evidence in this book, however, is that one of the most powerful states in the world, the United Kingdom, was the primary sponsor of a covert regime of murder and terror which lasted for three decades and was demonstrably directed against one section of the community only - Irish Catholics and nationalists and their `fellow travellers'."

He contends that MI6 was involved in many covert assassinations in the 1970s. He shows how the British state connived at the coup in Northern Ireland in May 1974, and how much this coup had in common with the other 1970s coups, in Chile, Greece and Argentina.

Thatcher personally authorised Brian Nelson's 1985 arms-smuggling, sanctions-busting trip to South Africa. Nelson, a British Army agent working in the Ulster Defence Association [UDA], also developed the alliance between the UDA/UFF [Ulster Freedom Fighters] and South Africa's death squads. The mass murders at Milltown Cemetery and other atrocities were carried out with arms from South Africa. MI6 also helped to organise the British and Irish mercenaries who fought against Africa's national liberation movements.

Larkin asks about Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party, "How have the DUP gotten away with it for so long? What other party and its leadership would get away with founding and supporting paramilitary loyalist armies and continually aligning itself with loyalist gunmen and killers without suffering the kind of rigorous media questioning that Sinn Fein, quite rightly, has faced?"

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic book that left you wanting more, 7 Nov 2006
A great read and scenic journey through "the dirty little war" in Northern Ireland. Left me wanting more. I hope this Author will continue with more stories either follow up or in the same vein. All sides in Northern Ireland are tarnished and justify it by saying the other side was dirtier, and guess what the innocent in between suffered.
