• Sommario/riassunto: Sectarian murder, torture, bloody power struggles and racketeering are what for many define their image of the Ulster Defence Association. This book explores issues such as the UDA's descent into criminality and its relationship with the 'secret war' conducted by Britain's undercover services.
