description: The Secret Army is the definitive work on the Irish Republican Army. It is an absorbing account of a movement that has had a profound effect on the shaping of the modern Irish state. A culmination of twenty-five years of work, it reflects Bell's unique access to the leadership of the Republican movement. His contacts with all involved -- including British politicians, policemen, and arms smugglers -- explain why The Secret Army remains the fundamental book on the subject. This edition is a complete revision and includes vast quantities of new information.
