Insider Summary

Insider: Gerry Bradley's Life in the IRA by Gerry Bradley

BRADLEY SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE IRA

The IRA was Gerry Bradleys life. His sole interest was in ops carrying out on-the-ground war. Inspired, initially, to defend his home place against Loyalist threats, he became one of the most senior operators in Belfast IRA. When things turned political, there seemed to be no place for his kind of activism.
