Gunsmoke and Mirrors Book

Henry McDonald, himself from the republican Markets area of Belfast, talks to ex-IRA men about their real motivations for starting their war. It had nothing to do with civil rights.

The whole sorry business was a waste of time. The people who died, died in vain.Read More
