Books on the Troubles of Northen Ireland

the Dirty War

A great read if you want to know more about the British Army and undercover operations in Northern Ireland.

1969 was a year of rising tension, violence and change for the people of Northern Ireland. Rioting in Derry’s Bogside led to the deployment of British troops and a shortlived, uneasy truce. The British army soon found itself engaged in an undercover war against the Provisional IRA, which was to last for more than twenty years. In this enthralling and controversial book, Martin Dillon, author of the bestselling The Shankill Butchers, examines the roles played by the Provisional IRA, the State forces, the Irish Government and the British Army during this troubled period. He unravels the mystery of war in which informers, agents and double agents operate, revealing disturbing facts about the way in which the terrorists and the Intelligence Agencies target, undermine and penetrate each other’s ranks. The Dirty War is investigative reporting at its very best, containing startling disclosures and throwing new light on previously inexplicable events.

Books on Norther Ireland Troubles

making sense of the northern Ireland Troubles

The Northern Ireland conflict was one of the most bloody, protracted, and bitter campaigns of terrorist violence in modern history. Rooted in the partition of Ireland in 1921, over 50,000 people were killed or seriously injured because of the hostilities between Catholic nationalists and Protestant unionists. Despite the landmark Good Friday Agreement in 1998, violent incidents are still rife and new paramilitary groups are becoming ever more emboldened.

This landmark introduction uses the latest archival material to chart the history of “The Troubles” and to examine the possible factors behind the political compromise of Sinn Fein and the DUP. Exploring the legacy of sectarian violence and inconsistent British intervention, the authors assert that, unfortunately, Northern Ireland is perhaps as fiercely segregated as ever.

loyalist book

This title is based on a series of frank interviews with both the paramilitary leaders who lead loyalist strategy and the gunmen who carried out the bombings. There are also interviews with loyalist and unionist politicians who operated centre-stage, with an account of the violence of the paramilitaries.

Belfast Child Autobiography – Coming UP

Well now that I’ve covered dad’s death I am  now ready to move on to the next stage of my life, which was predictable full of woes and misery. But its not all bad and there were many happy time, especially when I discovered drugs and girls and lost myself completely in both.

But before I got there I had many more miles to travel on the winding road  of  my “Wonderful ”  life.

After dad’s death I wanted to be left alone to grieve and try and find the will to continue and find something positive to look forward to in the future.  But as usual  fate took a malevolent interest in my destiny and continued to abuse me.

Belfast Child Autobiography – Coming UP

Well now that I’ve covered dad’s death I am  now ready to move on to the next stage of my life, which was predictable full of woes and misery. But its not all bad and there were many happy time, especially when I discovered drugs and girls and lost myself completely in both.

But before I got there I had many more miles to travel on the winding road  of  my “Wonderful ”  life.

After dad’s death I wanted to be left alone to grieve and try and find the will to continue and find something positive to look forward to in the future.  But as usual  fate took a malevolent interest in my destiny and continued to abuse me.

I tried to adapt to the many changes after dad’s death, from moving among dad’s relatives  and questioning my faith in God. And I began to think more and more of Mum and even suspecting that she might not be dead after all.

Belfast Child

Keep reading  my story….

  • How in my desperation to find mum I approached the salvation army in secret and asked them to help me find mum, but due to the fact I had no details about her, including her surname they were unable to do anything for me.
  • Why I had a secret meeting with a Catholic priest and how this meeting changed my view of Catholics.
  • Found comfort in god and the church and even held my own services , with Bother George in the dry stock room of the Co – Op  we both worked in. Bother George was very stupid and I was his master!
  • Found out I liked the high I got from glue and spent my teenage years experimenting with  one drug or another. And it wasn’t blocking out the pain, it was making my life bearable and I enjoyed it. Had some crazy trips on acid though.
  • Had a horrific accident in school that put me back in hospital for six months.
  • Joined the UDA and was prepared to fight for my Queen and Country, but I was not prepared to kill innocent Catholic’s or anyone for that matter.
  • My time in the UDA and the military and loyalist history lessons and workshops
  • Watched as many of my friends were punished  (kneecapped) by the paramilitaries, Joined the paramilitaries and some even became Loyalist killers and others ended up dead.
  • And how many years later when I was older and wiser a letter from the past set in motion a chain of events that would finally lead to me finding mum and our reunion after almost 25 years apart.

And much more………

So if your interested in my story please  keep reading and spread the word. I want my story to be seen by as many as possible and if you can retweet this or send a link to your friends and family I would be most grateful.

Take care and be happy.

Goodbye Henri

tortoise sheel cat2

We’ll a Sad diversion from the boredom of everyday life – Our little tortoise shell cat Henrietta  , otherwise known as “Squeaky” has passed away and gone to cat heaven. She has been ill for sometime and the wife brought her to the vet and returned with an empty cat box and a broken heart.

I feel so sad and upset that I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to her and have been weeping into my cornflakes as I try to come to terms with this new tragedy in my life. My eyes keep drifting to the little chair by my desk, where little Henri would sit all day and silently  watch me in wonder and keep me company through the long nights of insomnia .

Holly the older cat ( she’s almost 160 in cat years and we always thought she would go first). doesn’t seem that concerned at the mo, she just keeps screaming to be feed and is happy as a pig as she scuff’s down her gourmet  food. I wonder when she will realise that little Henri won’t ever be coming home again – will she missed her companion of almost 20 human years? That said she use to make little Henri’s life a nightmare, bullying her and stealing her food. We shall see.

Rest in peace Henri!
