Description: An explosive exposé of how British military intelligence really works-from the inside. This book presents the stories of two undercover agents: Brian Nelson, who worked for the Force Research Unit (FRU), aiding loyalist terrorists and murderers in their bloody work; and the man known as Stakeknife, deputy head of the IRA's infamous "Nutting Squad," the internal security force that tortured and killed suspected informers.

This book is copublished with O'Brien Press, Dublin and is for sale only in the United States, it's territories and dependencies, Canada, and the Philippines.

Review Quotes: "A sequence worthy of Catch-22 has the same agency employing agents on both sides, knocking off each other. But then, Catch-22 was farce-this is serious business, and murder." -Senator Maurice Hayes, Irish Independent
