Brendan Hughes‘ gritty memoir charts his rise through the ranks of the Provisional IRA in the early 1970’s. It was transformed into one of the most sophisticated guerilla movements in the world.
Hughes reveals how he planned and executed one of the most daring prison breaks in history. That was the daring helicopter escape from Mountjoy prison in 1973.
He also reveals how he orchestrated the prison escape from Portlaoise jail in 1974.
For almost half a century he has been written out of history.
Until now.
