I like this objective approach to historical story telling. The bare naked facts without any moralising or political bias.

God John this is the tip top episode that you have published to date. I was very impressed by Jons factual story as I have good friends in Tyrone who have regaled me with many stories which Jon have indeed colobrated. Had to smile when he was comparing the Tyrone boys with our own West Cork Brigade. I knew Tom Kelleher who was a famous member of Barry's unit & he stated when asked about the difference between his IRA & The Provisional's was ''SEMTEX''.

He is virtue signalling to an Irish audience , Ira murders are ‘killings’ , loyalist murders are ‘disgusting murders’ , He seems to portray this gang as virtuous altar boys . I forget the name, but a senior Ira man from cork , who was seconded to Tyrone, wrote that they were more interested in killing Protestant farmers than fighting the British army , I don’t think I’ll be buying the book.

A Rep of Ireland Govt memo released 30 years later alleged Gerry Adams gave MI-5 the tip, It read that Adams and Lynagh were having a dispute about the war and talks, Lynagh wasn't getting updates On the talks so he told Adams they'd carry out a major attack as planned. The memo didn't go too much into it ,just Adams and Lynagh were at odds. I find it hard to buy
