I bought this book while in Ireland and have since bought all O'Mahoney's others. This book is excellent because it is brutally honest in all aspects, which at times, makes it difficult to read, yet at the same time, impossible to turn away from. While much of the author's behavior is reprehensable, he does not try to make excuses for it. He really leaves the book open ended as if to say 'this kind of thing happens all the time.' What makes this book so interesting is that is is the story of a street thug who becomes a soldier at the time of the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland. This book is highly recommended to anyone with interest in true crime or 20th century Irish history. Its graphic honesty makes it almost impossible to put down.
