Items related to Killing for Britain
Collusion between the British forces and the Loyalist paramilitaries is the last untold story of the Troubles. Killing for Britain - UVF commander 'John Black s' story - confirms both Republican claims that the British ran Loyalist Death Squads , as well as Loyalist claims that their activities were fully supported by the British state. Directed by the notorious British army counter-insurgency unit, the MRF in 1972, Black s testimony graphically confirms security policy was to use the killing of civilians as a means of forcing them to give up support for the I.R.A. This remarkable document is written by an eye-witness to murderous events and relates the author s personal, harrowing journey from human to monster, and back to human again, showing how such events from the past torture even the toughest people.

About the Author:
John Black was born and raised in north Belfast in the 1950s and 60s. He joined the UVF in 1971 to defend his community . Twice convicted of paramilitary offences Black served time in Long Kesh prison. Still a Loyalist, Black has long renounced violence and has written this book to expose the British Establishment s role in murder of paramilitaries and civilians, and as a cautionary tale for anyone who might consider terrorism as an option.
