Title: A gripping account of the IRA operations during The Troubles.
Product review: Toby Harnden has written a spellbounding history of the Provisional IRA (PIRA) and their ultimate stronghold...South Armagh. Through meticulous research and personal interviews, he has written a balanced story of the PIRA in South Armagh, an area which was often considered qualitatively different in its resistance to Britain and the Northern Ireland government. In just one example of many, Harnden describes in detail the Goldfinger sniper crew who stalked British patrols, striking so much fear in their enemy that some British units stopped doing their jobs and hid in their camps so as not to be the next victim. To date, there has been no better account written of the PIRA operations in South Armagh...period.
