Since their foundation during the Second World War, the Parachute
Regiment has acquired a formidable reputation as tough, fearless
soldiers. "The Red Devils" have played a key role in many of the
battles of the past sixty years--the capture of Sicily, the D-Day
landing, the heroic but doomed attempt to capture the bridge at
Arnhem. In the so-called years of peace since the Second World War,
the Paras have seen action all over the world - from Cyprus,
Palestine, Egypt, Borneo and the Falklands to Bosnia. Their service
in Northern Ireland has been surrounded by controversy--the events
of "Bloody Sunday" in Londonderry in 1972 are still the subject of
fierce debate, and a continuing government inquiry. For his
authoritative book, John Parker has gathered together the testimony
of numerous veterans of the Parachute Regiment. Their first-hand
accounts of the major events in their history bring home the
reality (and cruelty) of combat. The events of "Bloody Sunday" are
seen through their eyes, and will re-ignite the controversy over
what actually happened.
