Kitson's Irish War

Brace yourself for a heart-pounding journey into the dark underbelly of Britain's dirty war in Northern Ireland. Kitson's Irish War is a gripping exposé that rips the lid off the clandestine operations and ruthless tactics employed by Brigadier Frank Kitson, the mastermind behind a brutal campaign that targeted Nationalists while turning a blind eye to Loyalist atrocities. From the shadowy assassinations carried out by the covert Military Reaction Force (MRF) on the streets of Belfast to the reign of terror unleashed by the notorious Parachute Regiment [1 Para] in Nationalist communities, this book leaves no stone unturned. Uncover the chilling truth behind the use of psychological warfare techniques, the torture of internees, and the infamous Bloody Sunday massacre perpetrated by Kitson's 'Private Army.' With explosive evidence from a deserter from 1 Para who joined the IRA, a deceitful MI5 agent, and a courageous whistle-blower who faced attempts to discredit them, Kitson's Irish War pieces together a shocking puzzle that the British government is determined to keep hidden. As efforts are made to halt the prosecution of soldiers responsible for civilian deaths, most of whom had no ties to paramilitary activities, this book is a timely and essential read for anyone seeking the truth behind one of the darkest chapters in Northern Ireland's history. Prepare to be shocked, outraged, and ultimately enlightened as you embark on this unflinching exploration of the secrets and lies that fueled Britain's dirty war. Kitson's Irish War is a powerful testament to the importance of exposing the truth, no matter how uncomfortable.
