Very readable book on a complex subject. I suggest the book first, then the movie. It was hard for me to empathize with someone who deceived friends and family. The book portrayed the IRA justifiably as a terrorist organization that killed innocents without regard but did a poor job of portraying the Brits. Let's remember the Brits were a foreign country occupying Ireland with it's own form of terrorism and force. Would England tolerate on occupation by Germany? The IRA existed because of British occupation.
