Reviews
"'What a treasury of facts! Read it even if you believe that the Anglo-Irish conflict's terrorists are Irish; perhaps especially if you do. Author Feehan's facts are devastating and he organizes them masterfully. His preface,""A Word To The Reader"" is alone worth the book's price. Its chapters (""The Background"" followed by ""Caveat Emptor"" (news media involvement), ""The Beginning"" (Sands' earlier life ),""The Young Man,"" ""The Prisoner,"" and ""The End"") are jam-packed with revelations. Even the Epilogue contains stunners. The Irish gov't, by its deeds, reveals itself as a London-run Quisling operation. This book is a great read; but its historical importance derives from the uniqueness of its truthfulness regarding Sands and Northern Ireland. From it you will learn about integrity and understand why communities as disparate as, for example, Le Mans, France and Teheran now contain streets named ""Bobby Sands."" For greater detail of the actual (mostly British) terrorists' identities see any of the compilations all of which are undisputed and mutually consistent' - Chris Fogarty"
