<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A detailed and revealing portrait of the world of the IRA, "Rebel Hearts" explains and uncovers the roots of the conflict in Northern Ireland through a series of profiles of IRA men. "As romantic as it is violent . . . Toolis has captured its pulse in prose that often approached poetry".--"San Francisco Chronicle".<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For ten years Kevin Toolis investigated the lives of the IRA soldiers who wage a secret battle against the British State. His journeys took him from the back kitchens of Belfast, where men joked while making two-thousand-pound bombs, to prisons for interviews with men serving life sentences, and to the graveyards where mourners weep. Each chapter explores a world where history, faith, and human savagery determine life and death. At once moving and harrowing, <i>Rebel Hearts</i> is the most authoritative and insightful book ever written on the IRA.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A powerful book, passionate and compelling, beautifully composed and written." --<i>The Christian Science Monitor</i> <p/>"An intimate and knowledgeable portrait of the IRA." --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Combining a reporter's eye for anecdotes with a sophisticated appreciation of the politics and personalities at play in Europe's longest-running conflict, Toolis has created a narrative that is both entertaining and illuminating." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"A profoundly personal and chilling close-up of the IRA and its effects on those it wounds and is wounded by.
