Riassunto

BESTSELLER An explosive expose of how British military intelligence really works, from the inside. The stories of two undercover agents -- Brian Nelson, who worked for the Force Research Unit (FRU), aiding loyalist terrorists and murderers in their bloody work; and the man known as Stakeknife, deputy head of the IRA's infamous `Nutting Squad', the internal security force which tortured and killed suspected informers.

Recensione:

'A sequence worthy of Catch-22 has the same agency employing agents on both sides, knocking off each other, so that one is left wondering who was really running the war, and for whose benefit. But then, Catch-22 was farce -- this is serious business, and murder.' (Senator Maurice Hayes Irish Independent)

L'autore:

Greg Harkin is the Belfast journalist who broke the Stakeknife story.
