Agents of Influence: Britain’s Secret Intelligence War Against the IRA

Another very informative read from my good friend Aaron Edwards who also wrote ‘UVF: Under the Mask’.

Agents of Influence: Britain’s Secret Intelligence War Against the IRA – the explosive new book by Aaron Edwards

A quick look at the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland during 1973

A short documentary produced by BBC TV

INSIGHT: OPERATION MOTORMAN Northern Ireland 1972 (UTV)

Naturally, some republicans interviewed during the filming promote the IRA view but that’s to be expected.

For the first time on television, the story of Motorman is recounted – from its planning and execution, through to its impact in shaping the outcome of the conflict. The one-hour programme includes interviews with key players like terrorist Martin McGuinness, Baroness May Blood, Sir Kenneth Bloomfield and Billy Hutchinson, as well as a number of soldiers involved in the operation.
