clarachen’s Reviews > The Puppet Masters: How MI6 Masterminded Ireland's Deepest State Crisis > Status Update

written by a barrister rather than a political scientist or a historian (should have paid more attention before buying it) = I’m distrustful of his sources + the structure of the writing is confusing

but maybe the content really is historically relevant? and perhaps too specific for someone who hasn’t studied Irish History to understand?

the author wants to prove he read loads of documents and makes a point of quoting them way too often in painfully long paragraphs 🤌
and the way he cuts chapters makes you think he wanted to write a crime novel but had to do non-fiction/History instead
