In The Trigger Men, bestselling author Martin Dillon delves into
the dark and sinister world of Irish terrorism and
counter-terrorism. Over three decades he has interviewed and
investigated some of the most professional, dangerous and ruthless
killers in Ireland. Now Dillon explores their personalities,
motivations and bizarre crimes.Many of Ireland's assassins learned
their trade in fields and on hillsides in remote parts of Ireland,
while others were trained in the Middle East or with Basque
separatist terrorists in Spain. Some were one-target-one-shot
killers, like the sniper who terrorised the inhabitants of
Washington State in the autumn of 2002, while others were bombers
skilled in designing the most sophisticated explosive devices and
booby traps. Another more powerful group of 'trigger men' were the
influential figures in the shadows, who were experts in motivating
the killers under their control. All of these men, whether they
squeezed the trigger on a high-powered rifle, set the timer on a
bomb or used their authority to send others out to commit horrific
and unspeakable acts of cruelty, are featured in this book. The
Trigger Men takes the reader inside the labyrinthine world of
terrorist cells and highly classified counter-terrorism units of
British Military Intelligence. The individual stories are described
in gripping, unflinching detail and show how the terrorists carried
out their ghastly work. Dillon also explores the ideology of the
cult of the gunmen and the greed and hatred that motivated
assassins in their killing sprees. There are penetrating insights
into the mindset of the most infamous assassins: their social and
historical conditioning, their callousness......
