Title: History - I don't think so!
Review: As a student of contemporary Irish history and a life-time resident in Northern Ireland, the words definitive & authoritative [in relation to history books] usually refer to opinions developed around the bars of the Europa & Culloden, with side visits to the Rock or the Phoenix. This is surely such a book. Mr. Moloney takes the usual step of presenting hearsay as fact and expecting the reader to accept his assurances.This book was not written as history but rather for that niche market [particularly in the US......gasoline bombs????????] who envision Adams as the great Betrayer.........of what Moloney does not make clear!!A waste of money, a waste of time. Mr. Moloney will now join O'Brien, Dudley-Edwards, Elliot in my Rubbish Shelf.
Is the review positive or negative?
