Summary: Biased, ignorant brit reviewer(white-anglo-saxon-muslim)
Comment: Learn something about Irish history before you go making your all-knowing comments about Irish Republicans. The loyalists are taking up arms because of hundreds of years if paranoia built into them after stealing Irish land. They know they are wrong and that the Irish want it back. If they want their british way of life then go back to Britain. Also, the IRA should not accept british rule because you claim there are more loyalists than Nationalists. If you mean a larger protestant population in the north of Ireland than the Catholic population, you should do some research. Irish Catholics are about 50% now and will soon be a majority. Why do you think the brits only took 6 of Ulster's 9 counties? So they would have a majority population. The IRA are only trying to protect themselves from hundreds of years of english oppression. The book is a fine one and MOST people are smart enough to either keep their opinions to themselves or do more research before passing ignorant judgement on something they really know nothing about.

Summary: A Good Book On The Incompetent Loyalist Paramilitaries
Comment: This is actually a very good book it shows the plight of both Nationalists and Unionists in Northern Ireland, but more importantly it shows how the Loyalist paramilitaries(the UDA and UVF) although not nearly as powerfull or as well trained as the Republican IRA and INLA, have never the less been able to kill over 900 hundred Catholic civilians. The book does a good job making a distinction between members of the UDA and UVF like Gusty Spence, who did not want to hurt Catholic civilians, and depraved killers like Johnny Adair and Billy Wright, who only killed innocent unarmed men and women. The one thing the book shows exceptionally well is how the UDA and UVF were Ultimately no match for the seasoned IRA(although they try to stoke thier inflated ego's by saying they were winning against the IRA when everyone agrees they were actually losing).
Rating: 1
Summary: Account of the victorious
Comment: An interesting and detailed study of the brave defenders of Ulster and the way in which they were able to miltarily defeat the Provos. The abject surrender by the IRA to the the UVF/UFF/LVF and RHC was humiliating but necessary in order to avoid total collapse. I suppose at least that now the Provies won't need to spend their time now planning their next baby-killing stunt.
