An explosive exposé of how British military intelligence really works.

Author Information
Greg Harkin, an award-winning Belfast journalist for the People newspaper, is the journalist who first broke the story on the Stakeknife affair. He was awarded the 2003 Scoop of the Year award for his work on the story. 'Martin Ingram' is the pseudonym of an ex-British Army intelligence officer turned whistleblower. He worked in Army intelligence during 1981–84 and 1987–90, working for the Force Research Unit, a highly secretive unit, in Northern Ireland. Since deciding to become a whistleblower, he has written articles for many newspapers, including the Sunday Times, the Guardian, the Irish News, and Andersonstown News.
