In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Good book, very detailed about the south armagh brigade and the conflict but a little more biased towards the brits. One example is the ludicrous suggestion that the Fergal Caraher shooting was justified, or that individual examples of Garda-PIRA collusion are in some way comparable to the systematic and endemic collusion across all ranges of the security forces in the North with loyalist death squads.

He had been arrested following an IRA mortar attack on the RUC barracks in Newry, which spectacularly wiped out nine of the paramilitary police force's members. Focusing on both issues of his homeland and further afield, he seeks to translate stories of society to a photographic audience. He tries to make the case that, even pre-partition, the Fewes area, which includes South Armagh, was quite a bellicose proposition for the British colonial invaders to conquer. We specialise in hard to find and international magazine titles including Apartamento, L'Étiquette, Popeye and Gentlewoman along with a range of fiction and non-fiction books from a wide range of independent publishers.South Armagh was described as "Bandit Country" by Merlyn Rees when he was Northern Ireland Secretary, and for nearly three decades it has been the most dangerous posting in the world for a British soldier. I’d first learned about the Troubles as a kid when I learned my grandpa emigrated from Ireland at 10 years old and due to the conflict didn’t want to talk about it, violence or war at all. What is missing here is the point of view of Ulster Unionists and the paramilitary groups that take up their cudgels, and any sharp sense of whence the outrage and dogged determination that drives the Republican struggle comes. Based on the quality of First Casualty, I knew this would be a solid story with in depth interviews of as many people on both sides.

The Daily Telegraph's Irish correspondent Toby Harnden's book, Bandit Country, introduces readers to a brief history of the ancient area known as the Fewes, encompassing South Armagh, the outlying areas of North Louth and North Monaghan. It is also written in an accessible way, aimed not just at the Northern Ireland aficionado but also at the general reader who wants to find out what the IRA is about. For the first time, the identities of the men behind the South Quay and Manchester bombings are revealed.If you want to understand the knife-edge stumble along the precipice to peace, you must read this book (Toby Harnden. Drawing on secret documents and interviews in South Armagh’s recent history, he tells the inside story of how the IRA came close to bringing the British state to its knees. The book essentially details the IRA's campaign of bombings, shootings and abductions and the war of attrition being fought against the British Army over the period. To republicans, it is 'God's Country', the only area in the six counties where the occupiers have successfully been resisted.

He became an outspoken, quite unhinged critic of Republicanism in general, and was courted by the British media for his scathing critique of the Provisionals in particular. His bestseller Dead Men Risen: The Welsh Guards and the Defining Story of Britain's War in Afghanistan (Quercus, 2011) was winner of the 2012 Orwell Prize.Patterson shows us how the militarised boundary line of old has morphed into an invisible and semi-wild frontier, where the ghosts of a thirty-year war continue to haunt the 'ceasefire generation'.

Harnden is a brave man to have written this book so clearly identifying IRA kingpins in South Armagh to anyone who would care to take a second look. As an American I found myself continually referring to the map at the front of this thick tome to orient myself.
