"Highly recommended read." - SharedTroubles "What Ken is creating
is something historians will be using centuries from now."- The
Pathfinder Magazine This is the second oral history of the Northern
Ireland troubles, following on from A Long, Long War (Helion,
2008), again told from the perspective of the ordinary British
soldier. This book looks deeper into the conflict, with new
contributors providing revealing stories of the troubles from the
back streets of the Ardoyne to the bandit country of South Armagh.
In researching this subject Ken Wharton, a former soldier, is now
known and trusted by those who served and they are keen for their
part in Britain's forgotten war to now be made public. For the
first time, he tells the stories of the 'unseen victims'; the loved
ones who sat and dreaded a knock at the door from the Army telling
them that their loved one had been killed on the streets of
Northern Ireland. There are more first hand accounts from the
Rifleman, the Private, the Guardsman, the Driver, the Sapper and
the Fusilier on the street as they recall the violence, the insults
and the shock of seeing a comrade dying in front of them. There is
an explosive interview with a soldier who killed an IRA gunman
fresh from the murder of two Royal Artillerymen. Building on the
huge success of Ken's first book, this second volume will provide
plenty of new material for the reader to reconsider afresh the role
of Britain's soldiers in Northern Ireland and the fate that so many
suffered.
