Title: Very insightful and enjoyable.
Product review: It seemed honest and down to earth and the author expressed some very human qualities. It provided a balanced view of two sides, the IRA and the RUC Special Branch.Not once did he blame any particular side and he he stuck to his experinces rather than trying to make any political statements. The subject matter is highly cotrovesial but it is handled objectively.The book is well worth a read but should be read without biasness because for people who have not experienced the troubles it is unimaginable. It is a stale mate. It is an unsolvable conflict in which there can be no winners.McGartland conveys the hopelessness of fighting history, religion, patriotism and age old hatred. He was caught between his beliefs and morals. A powerful story of a young man who risked all and now lives in hiding.
