Summary
'I am a British soldier,' I told my reflection. 'I am a British soldier and I'm saving lives. I'm saving lives. I'm a British soldier and I'm saving lives....'
Kevin Fulton was one of the British Army's most successful intelligence agents. Having been recruited to infiltrate the Provisional IRA at the height of the Troubles, he rose its ranks to an unprecedented level. Living and working undercover, he had no option other than to take part in heinous criminal activities, including the production of bombs which he knew would later kill. So highly was he valued by IRA leaders that he was promoted to serve in its infamous internal police - ironically, his job was now to root out and kill informers.
Until one day in 1994, when it all went wrong....
Fleeing Northern Ireland, Kevin was abandoned by the security services he had served so courageously and left to live as a fugitive. The life of a double agent requires constant vigilance, for danger is always just a heartbeat away. For a double agent within the highest ranks of the IRA, that danger was doubled. In this remarkable account, Kevin Fulton - former intelligence agent, ex-member of the IRA - tells a truth that is as uncomfortable as it is gripping.

Worth it
Well written & narrated. Exciting but also disturbing to know that this is the way the government and its security forces operate

Superb
Absolutely fantastic listen. How this guy can be treated by the security services after giving so many years of his life for the cause is disgusting. Highly recommended.

Fantastic
A gripping insight into the dirty war in Northern Ireland and how MI5 shafted a British soldier who dedicated his life to a cause he believed in. It’s at times dark and explores some of the atrocities that blighted many lives in Northern Ireland during the 80s and 90s. The narration is excellent and clear. I recommend this audiobook.

Excellently read and very exciting book
I loved the true story of Fulton the reader told it so well ,
As much as him betraying Ireland disgusted me the snake definitely deserves to be paid out by his countries enemy (the brits)
Don’t like that terrorists who are loyalists like stone are referred to simply as loyalist Micheal stone whereas nationalists like the Gibraltar thee are called terrorists , I guess that’s just the typical brits for you eh
