Watching The Door
A Memoir 1971-1978
Kevin Myers
This captivating memoir chronicles a young journalist's firsthand account of the violent conflict erupting in Belfast during the height of the Troubles. With raw and candid prose, the author details the collapse of Northern Irish society, chronicling the deeds of loyalist gangs, provos, paratroopers, politicians, and citizens on both sides of the sectarian faultline. Balancing humor, reflection, and raw emotion, this coming-of-age story offers a powerful glimpse into a pivotal moment in Ireland's recent past.

@RoryCormac Good book. Also, the British were vicious during that time. They published the wrong losses from robberies so the IRA would think the fund raising teams were skimming. They created the boogeyman and satanic panic to get the farmers to report suspicious activity at night. – fuente
