Product Description
'Brilliant... Dark, witty grim, caustic, despairing, wise,
searingly honest and beautifully written... The best
informed and most exciting personal account
of the troubles ever published.'
Mail on Sunday
'An essential part of the history of the Troubles. It is the
most astonishing memoir of its kind that I have read in years,
and must be read by anyone interested in the happenings
of those terrible years in Belfast City.' Jack Higgins
'So remarkable that after finishing it you will find yourself casting the film that will surely get made. .. These are the Troubles as seen by someone who knew the killers and the killed, and watched from the streets, the bars, and also the bedrooms, of Belfast. . . The result is a humour of a sort so edgy you will only have come on it previously in the crime fiction of the great Elmore Leonard...
' I have never read a book like this.' Spectator
'A masterpiece...The bombings, the shootings, the
beatings, the murderous prejudice of warring tribes separated
by a few bricks: Myers spares nobody, least of all himself.
Few books are as honest.' Daily Telegraph
'Raw and memorable... Watching the Door is a book
that will be read after many others about that horrible
turbulence are forgotten.' TLS
'Kevin Myers has produced a book that I couldn't put down...
Bad and bold and brilliant.' Olivia O'Leary, The Irish Times
