review: Editorial Reviews Review "...As a historian, former member of the IRA and a onetime party activist with extensive contacts...few have been better placed than McIntyre to examine and evaluate the transformation of a political movement from armed insurrectionists to tame reformists...There is...irreverence in McIntyre's writing that places some of his best pieces in the rascally company of other Irish enragés such as Swift, Shaw and Behan..." --Tommy McKearney, journalist, organiser, former member of the IRA "Highly intelligent, honest and original. McIntyre's book should be read by anyone with an interest in modern Irish republicanism." --Richard English, author of Armed Struggle: The History of the IRA About the Author Former IRA volunteer and ex-prisoner, spent 18 years in Long Kesh, 4 years on the blanket and no-wash/no work protests which led to the hunger strikes of the 80s.
