About
'"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. Born into a Catholic family in Newry, County Down in 1960, Kevin Fulton became a British soldier at the age of 18 and was soon recruited to be an agent. He infiltrated the IRA and remained there for 15 years, supplying inside information to the security forces before having to flee Northern Ireland after his safety was compromised in 1994. Kevin Fulton is a pseudonym as the author still cannot be identified for security reasons. The shocking true story of life as a double agent inside the IRA First published in 2007, this edition with a new cover will allow us to introduce the book to a new mass-market audience, particularly in light of the huge success of commercial military/SAS memoirs including First Man In and Battle Scars. Born into a Catholic family in Northern Ireland, Kevin Fulton is a pseudonym as, for security reasons, the author still can't be identified. Recent reissues in John Blake Publishing's backlist have performed well commercially, including Fishers of Men (14k) and Fifty Dead Men Walking (4k since Sept 18). Renewed media focus on Northern Ireland in light of recent events and the issues surrounding Brexit show that the issues raised in this book remain of interest to the public.
