Guardian Bookshop Notes:

An exhilarating and savagely funny account of Northern Ireland's bloody civil war in the 1970s. Myers was a journalist in Belfast during this period, and was privy to the secrets of both Protestant and Catholic paramilitaries. 'Kevin Myers bears witness to his, and to his island's pasts, and he is a vigorous witness.' Frank McGuinness

Publisher's description:

A memoir of an ordinary young man who drifted into a war zone, made it his home and, somehow, emerged unscathed. After Kevin Myers graduated from university in 1969, a chance job application landed him a position as a journalist in Belfast, reporting on the Troubles. Here, he offers an account of a society on the brink of civil war.
