It is a fairly clear title Gabby. It doesnt say 'the untold stories of the conflict in ireland', which i agree might be a good read. The lost revolution is a great book but goin by the title it might not be comparing like with like. Probably does what it says on the tin/cover. It is a fairly clear title Gabby.

Will it tell us the inside story on Gerry, Blaney, John Kelly, Haughey, the Belgian businessman Luyckx, Maria Maguire and Daithi, even the wanderly missionary priest from East Africa? When was the first bank robbery? When did the CIA infiltrate Noraid? Who contacted the renegade Capuchin priest? Whatever happened to the Littleton brothers. Whatever happened to two Irish detectives who turned over confidential info to MI5? What southern businessmen supplied funds to encourage The Split? So many other questions to be asked, so many missing files, so much loss of memory, so many colourful artifacts awaiting a lucky archaeological dig. When enough facts eventually come to light an Irish Leon Uris may then write the ultimate blockbuster novel. Too many dead people won't get to read it, nor to see the megamovie version. Title: A lost revolution or something. With a cast of thousands. Will it be as well researched and narrated a book as the best selling The Lost Revolution?
