Rebel Hearts: Journeys Within the IRA's Soul

Rebel Hearts: Journeys Within the IRA's Soul

<p>For ten years Kevin Toolis investigated the lives of the IRA soldiers who wage a secret battle against the British State. His journeys took him from the back kitchens of Belfast, where men joked while making two-thousand-pound bombs, to prisons for interviews with men serving life sentences, and to the graveyards where mourners weep. Each chapter explores a world where history, faith, and human savagery determine life and death. At once moving and harrowing, <i>Rebel Hearts</i> is the most authoritative and insightful book ever written on the IRA.</p>
