The Story so far

Richard James and his friend Paul Jones – whilst working in Ireland become involved in the world of subterfuge, the IRA and Military Intelligence.

In the 1970’s and 80’s World Politics took a turn for the worse. In Ireland there had been a proliferation of paramilitary organisations and the ‘Provisional’ wing of the IRA had stepped up its campaign and the ‘Troubles’ escalated. In its efforts to combat these events the British Government recruited numerous Agents, ‘Agent Provocateurs’ and Informers all of whom worked for different handlers and agencies, so it was no wonder that from time to time lines of communication became confused and things went wrong. At home the bigger picture was one of the ‘Cold War’, where relations between the UK and the Soviet block had deteriorated to a point where even the Territorial Army was busy training units in guerrilla warfare in readiness should there be a Russian invasion.
