A forensic account of the Stalker inquiry into RUC shoot-to-kill operations in 1982. It attacks the official narrative that there was no conspiracy to remove Stalker and details the efforts by his own police force to invent disciplinary charges. MI5's secret security strategy in N Ireland is central and remains so to this day.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Riveting as a story, compelling as a political analysis and utterly devastating in its portrayal of the subversion of law and legal process. A must-read for those interested in truth and justice.
Professor Fionnuala Ni Aolain KC University of Minnesota and Queen's University Belfast
A brilliant, long-needed, investigation into one of the most notorious episodes of the Northern Ireland "Troubles", one that the British security state has gone to desperate lengths to cover up. Paddy Hillyard's impeccable research leads him to the conclusion that the Stalker affair was one egregious example of how the rule of law, accountability and transparency were all abandoned by the very agencies that are supposed to uphold those basic tenets of a democracy.
