Britain’s Dirty War Now here’s a book I have just finished reading. It tells the story of a Catholic Newry man who uses the pseudonym Kevin Fulton who signed up as a British soldier and was quickly picked up by British Military intelligence as a “spy” on the Provisional I.R.A and later the R.I.R.A.
