The British government has taken steps to halt the prosecution of
soldiers responsible for the deaths of civilians in Northern
Ireland, most of whom had no connection to paramilitary activities.
These killings were part of a ruthless dirty war that commenced in
1970 when Brigadier Frank Kitson, a counter-insurgency specialist,
was sent to Northern Ireland. Kitson had spent decades in Britain's
colonies refining old, and developing new, techniques which he
applied in Northern Ireland. He became the architect of a
clandestine war, waged against Nationalists while ignoring Loyalist
atrocities. Kitson and his colleagues were responsible for: * The
establishment of the clandestine Military Reaction Force (MRF)
which carried out assassinations on the streets of Belfast of
suspected IRA members; * They unleashed the most violent elements
of the Parachute Regiment [1 Para] to terrorise Nationalist
communities which, they adjudged, were providing support for the
Official and Provisional IRA; * Spreading black propaganda designed
to undermine Republican but not Loyalist paramilitary groups; *
Deployed psychological warfare techniques, involving the torture of
internees; * Sent Kitson's 'Private Army' - Support Company of 1
Para - to Derry where they perpetrated the Bloody Sunday massacre.
The British Widgery and Saville inquiries did not hold Kitson and
his elite troops accountable for Bloody Sunday. Kitson's Irish War
lays bare the evidence they discounted: Kitson's role in the events
leading up to and surrounding that massacre; evidence from a
deserter from 1 Para who joined the IRA; a deceitful MI5 agent; a
courageous whistle blower whom the British state tried to
discredit, and much more, all of which points to a motive for the
attack on the Bogside. This book unlocks the some of the key
secrets of the Dirty War that the British government is still
determined to cover-up.
