[D.J. Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a unique and outstanding book highlighting some of the more fascinating aspects of the Irish War of Independence. It provides a well researched account of some of the more sinister figures at the heart of the seedy underworld of intelligence and takes us through some of the most bloody and shameful incidents of that conflict.
