Voices from the Grave: Two Men's War in Ireland

Product Details

Ed Moloney-s A Secret History of the IRA is the best-informed account yet written of the IRA-s evolution from ruthless guerrilla army into governmental party, ruling Northern Ireland alongside its most intransigent former enemies.But reconciliation between political figures who until very recently wished each other dead or in jail has not been accompanied by very much truth-telling about the past. Men who have been to the White House and hob-nobbed with Tony Blair deny that they ever fired a shot in anger, or caused a bomb to be planted. Now, in a truly ground-breaking piece of historical evidence-gathering initiated by Boston College, two former paramilitary leaders - one republican, one loyalist - speak with unprecedented frankness about their role in some of the most appalling violence of the Troubles. Their openness results in a book of shocking and irresistible testimony, their voices set in the context of a narrative by Ed Moloney of their lives and of the society they grew up in.

excellent first hand source - cathartid -
I have only read a few hundred pages. Well written and well laid out, the book follows the Irish conflict from that 60's thru present. Actual interviews are scripted and the nuts & bolt details are revealed as to why certain things were handled the way they were. An excellent first hand recount of events.
