Om denne e-boken
An honest and chilling exploration of the lives and deaths of those at the heart of the IRA's war with Britain.
In Rebel Hearts, Kevin Toolis investigates the men and women who, for twenty-five years, formed the backbone of the IRA's effort in Northern Ireland. Through a series of highly detailed individual portraits, Toolis reconstructs the history of the conflict, delving into the worlds where republican (and loyalist) interpretations of the past dominate the present.
Updated with two extensive new chapters covering the latest developments, Rebel Hearts offers a compelling and coldly brilliant look at the realities behind the Troubles. Toolis reawakens the mind to the reasons why these events took place, creating an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Northern Ireland conflict.
'One of the strengths of Kevin Toolis's compelling, chilling, coldly brilliant book is that it reawakens the mind to the reality of why they took place . . . easily the best book I have read on the Troubles' John Sweeney, Literary Review
'An honest and important book, essential for anyone who wants to assess what has been happening for the past twenty-five years in "Northern Ireland" and what is likely to happen next' Robert Kee, Irish Times
