The Secret Army is the definitive work on the Irish Republican
Army. It is an absorbing account of a movement that has had a
profound effect on the shaping of the modern Irish state. The
secret army in the service of the invisible Republic has had a
powerful effect on Irish events over the past twenty-five years.
These hidden corridors of power interest Bell and inspired him to
spend more time with the IRA than many volunteers spend in it. This
book is the culmination of twenty-five years of work and tens of
thousands of hours of interviews. Bell's unique access to the
leadership of the republican movement and his contacts with all
involved British politicians, Irish politicians, policemen, arms
smugglers, and others committed or opposed to the IRA explain why
The Secret Army is the book on the subject. This edition represents
a complete revision and includes vast quantities of new
information. Bell's book gives us vital insight into our times as
well as Irish history. This edition of The Secret Army contains six
new chapters that bring the history of this clandestine
organization up to date. They are: The First Decade, The Nature of
the Long War, 1979-1980"; "Unconventional Conflict, The Hunger
Strikes, January 1980-October 3, 1981"; The Protracted Struggle,
September 1981-January 1984"; "War, Politics, and the Split,
January 1984-December 1986"; The Troubles as Institution,
1987-1990": and The Armed Struggle Transformed, 1991-1996, The End
Game." In his new introduction, Bell reflects on his decades of
research, the experiences he has had, and the people he has met
during his extensive visits to Ireland.
