Killing for Britain - Softcover

Collusion between the British forces and the Loyalist paramilitaries is the last untold story of the Troubles. Killing for Britain - UVF commander 'John Black s' story - confirms both Republican claims that the British ran Loyalist Death Squads , as well as Loyalist claims that their activities were fully supported by the British state. Directed by the notorious British army counter-insurgency unit, the MRF in 1972, Black s testimony graphically confirms security policy was to use the killing of civilians as a means of forcing them to give up support for the I.R.A. This remarkable document is written by an eye-witness to murderous events and relates the author s personal, harrowing journey from human to monster, and back to human again, showing how such events from the past torture even the toughest people.

John Black was born and raised in north Belfast in the 1950s and 60s. He joined the UVF in 1971 to defend his community . Twice convicted of paramilitary offences Black served time in Long Kesh prison. Still a Loyalist, Black has long renounced violence and has written this book to expose the British Establishment s role in murder of paramilitaries and civilians, and as a cautionary tale for anyone who might consider terrorism as an option.
