Summary:

"Behind the Mask: The IRA and Sinn Fein" is brand new, and the most current investigation available of the world's most sophisticated guerrilla movement -- the Irish Republican Army. Veteran BBC reporter Peter Taylor has gained unprecedented access to confessed IRA terrorists and their first-hand accounts of bloody warfare and their political strategies for the current peace talks. In this companion title to the "Frontline"/PBS documentary, Taylor brings 20 years' worth of investigative journalism to this toughest of current-affairs topics -- dear to the hearts of the IrishAmerican communities across America.
