The book focuses on the amount of spying done by the British during The Troubles and how Britain ultimately steered the IRA to become a political party. It‘s about a British agent hidden within the highest ranks of the IRA who ultimately was placed on the Nutting Squad, responsible for killing informers, who killed an Irishman working as a spy for Britain. It‘s fascinating and sobering and so much more than my description covers. Five star read.
