In 1970s Ireland the British establishment conducted its struggle with the IRA in the "dirty war". This novel, set around the real-life figure of Captain Nairac, recreates the intrigue, loyalism and violence of a time when friend could turn foe overnight and nothing was ever quite as it seemed.

A fictionalized account of the life and times of Captain Robert Nairac,
By Sugafoot (The Fields of Athenry) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ultras (Paperback)
The murder of British undercover operative Captain Robert Nairac at the hands of the Irish Republican Army has left his memory vulnerable to rumor, innuendo, and the wildest of speculation. Eoin McNamee's novel weaves together the disparate threads of the conspiracies that shroud Nairac's life into a cohesive tale. His work full of spies, terrorists, rogue operatives, and assassinations in the wee hours, is wonderfully rich in atmosphere. It is recommended reading for those interested in the Troubles or the doomed Captain Nairac.
