Nicholas Davies- Dead Men Talking The troubles in Northern Ireland I have recently read this book. a few questions i'd like answered are: how did someone within the leadership of the IRA not cop the identity of steak knife? especially if he was passing on information that could only be privy to people at an IRA army council meeting or those very close to the leadership. There were numerous events cited where plot were mysteriously sabotaged and yet he seemed beyond suspicion. if the leadership of the Ira had learned anything from history it is that you suspect those people that you would never think of suspecting. |
