Voices from the Grave

A sensational book that will drag the truth about the war in Northern Ireland further into the light than ever before.

Voices from the Grave by Ed Moloney is a sensational book exposing the truth about the war in Northern Ireland through two key testimonies.

Description

Ed Moloney's A Secret History of the IRA is the best-informed account yet written of the IRA's evolution from ruthless guerrilla army into governmental party, ruling Northern Ireland alongside its most intransigent former enemies.

But reconciliation between political figures who until very recently wished each other dead or in jail has not been accompanied by very much truth-telling about the past. Men who have been to the White House and hobnobbed with Tony Blair deny that they ever fired a shot in anger or caused a bomb to be planted.

Now, in a truly ground-breaking piece of historical evidence-gathering initiated by Boston College, two former paramilitary leaders—one republican, one loyalist—speak with unprecedented frankness about their role in some of the most appalling violence of the Troubles. Their openness results in a book of shocking and irresistible testimony, their voices set in the context of a narrative by Ed Moloney of their lives and of the society they grew up in.
