A pause resisting, real life thriller recounting the story of the Irish Republican Army Active Service Unit, placed in deep cover in London, and their murderous campaign against the British establishment...This is the true story of a deadly cat and mouse game played out on the streets of London that resulted in the infamous armed stand off at what would later be called the Balcombe Street Siege.

Fact-dense with fantastic analysis!
Revisado: 03-09-20
I discovered this book in August of 2019. The book is dominated by facts and an in depth analysis of the events, as well a look at the psychological states of those involved. The author covers the events leading up to Balcombe St in fantastic detail, as well as a very thorough play-by-play of the six day siege on Balcombe St during December 1975. In February 2020, I visited London for the first time. During my trip, I visited a few locations from the book. While in the area of Balcombe St, I listened again to the chapter involving the pursuit of the ASU up Rossmore Rd, and eventually down the stairs to Taunton Pl/Boston Pl/Balcombe St. The description of the events was so vivid that I could almost see the events taking place in front of me. This book is a must read for any fan of British and/or Irish history.
