Stakeknife and the Ripple of Terror. Part II: An Unreliable Narrator
Manage episode 460970590 series 3290392
A lot packed into this episode, partly by design, partly by divergence. Continuing on the theme of assets, handlers, TCG and RUC Special Branch. How were things managed, or mismanaged? Troubles' history remains fertile ground into which black propaganda may be seeded by both state and non-state actors. Each 'side' alluding that they fought a 'just war', but all sides drowned in their dirty war.
This episodes concludes with three murders: two by Irish republicans, one by the RUC.
Future episodes will continue to examine the 'intelligence war' as well as 'acts of terror' employed by both state and non-state actors during the Troubles.
