This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding Britain’s war in Ireland. Pat Magee charts his own personal journey as an IRA Volunteer on active service, as a POW and his involvement in outreach and reconciliation in the years since his release from prison.  In her Foreword Jo Berry says “Please read this story as one of the many truths of the conflict; no one has the objective truth of what happened. 

Everyone who was present has a valid story that we can hear – even if we don’t agree.”  Jo Berry’s father was one of those killed when the IRA detonated a bomb at the British Tory Party conference in 1984.  Pat Magee was the IRA Volunteer who planted the bomb.
