In the midst of the rubble and broken glass of war torn Northern Ireland, at the height of the civil conflict between the IRA and pro-British forces, the bravery of one man shines through thriller and suspense as he acts as both Provisional soldier and spy for the police in order to bring the IRA down. In a gritty, vibrant account of contemporary history, ‘What Price Truth’ tells for the first time the true story of urban warfare for Raymond Gilmour, a police undercover agent sent among the men at arms of the IRA in a bid to help end the fighting once and for all.
Growing up in Derry at the height of the civil war, Gilmour is disillusioned at a young age to the struggle of the men at arms in the Provisional IRA, whose methods he sees as often more brutal than those of the oppressing British forces. With no choice other than a life on the dole or in crime, he is caught after a botched burglary, convicted, and thrown in prison with only one hope of getting out – to join the police undercover and infiltrate the IRA in order to bring an end to the bloodshed in his home town. With little choice, Gilmour accepts his role as soldier and spy, and his new life of thriller and suspense begins.
While contemporary history tells the official story of the violence in Northern Ireland, this is a highly personal tale of urban warfare from the point of view of a single individual in war torn Derry, forced to choose between family and the need to make a stand for one’s convictions. Hard-hitting and harrowing, ‘What Price Truth’ is a truly inspiring story of bravery in the face of death, and a must-read for anybody interested in the atmosphere of 1980s Northern Ireland.
WHAT PRICE TRUTH The True Story of a Special Branch Agent eBook Ken Wharton
Oh dear, what should have been a gripping account of living in one of the most dangerous situations imaginable - without elite forces training or similar disintegrated quickly into a monotonous litany of 'What I did today'. If the book had been edited properly down to a little more than half its size it would have been so much better. Far too much padding, far too little introspective insights into what it is like to be an 'informer' and the 'action' just never really came through. I admire the guy for obviously being effective as an 'agent' or whatever descriptive one might use (one side's spy if the other sides traitor after all) but I really did not feel moved in any way over his account of his activities, nor did I really feel I had learned all that much about the subject. I gave it three stars instead of two because it is fact and not fiction - were it a fictional account I would have quit after the first few chapters.Product details

Good read on the history of the IRA and it's sister organizations
This is a great read, telling a story about a war that everybody would prefer to forget. Raymond gives us a cold hard insight into Northern Ireland in the 1980's, and provides beautiful detail of the intricacies of the IRA.
