Killing for Britain

Killing for Britain UVF commander 'John Blacks' story confirms both Republican claims that the British ran 'Loyalist Death Squads', as well as Loyalist claims that their activities were fully supported by the British state. Directed by the notorious British army counter-insurgency unit, the MRF in 1972, Blacks testimony graphically confirms security policy was to use the killing of civilians as a means of forcing them to give up support for the IRA. This remarkable document is written by an eye-witness to murderous events and relates the authors personal, harrowing journey from human to monster, and back to human again, showing how such events from the past torture even the toughest people.
