Covert British Army units, mass sectarian screening, propaganda ‘dirty tricks, ’ arming sectarian killers & a point-blank refusal over the worst two decades of the conflict, to outlaw the largest loyalist killer gang in Northern Irel&.

This meticulously researched book uses previously secret official documents to explore the tangled web of relationships between the top echelons of the British establishment, incl Cabinet ministers, police/military officers & intelligence services with loyalist paramilitaries of the UDA & UVF throughout the 1970s & early 1980s.

It shows how tactics such as curfew & internment were imposed on the nationalist population in Northern Ireland & how London misled the European Commission over internment’s one-sided nature.

It focuses particularly on the British Government’s refusal to proscribe the UDA for two decades – probably the most serious abdication of the rule of law in the entire conflict.

The worst moment in a war was my fear I would not be sent to it. So wrote the young Mike Nicholson, a reporter whose astonishing career has covered eighteen major conflicts. Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the Falklands War a conflict Nicholson famously covered for ITN A State of War Exists sees the veteran journalist pondering what made him want to risk life & limb, travelling to the most dangerous parts of the world at the most dangerous times over two hundred journalists have been killed in the last three years alone. Was it machismo or masochism that encouraged him to so compulsively & repeatedly to risk his life? Probably, he concludes, it was both. This remarkable book looks at the history of war reporting through a century & a half of conflict journalism from the Crimea to the Kevlar wearing, technology dependent hacks of today, trying desperately to fill the twenty-four hour rolling news vacuum. Along the way, Nicholson introduces us to the greats of his trade & looks at what made them do what they did & what sets them apart from the rest, including William Howard Russell, Frederic Villiers, Martha Gellhorn, Henry Wood Nevison, James Cameron, Claire Hollingworth & Michael Herr. ...
