... 2) By coincidence, no doubt, the 23 November was also the day chosen to show to the media the large, nicely packaged, photogenic collection of guns and explosives found on board a Polish ship in Cleveland. And these were arms not bound for the IRA, but for the Protestant, Ulster Defence Association. And it had all apparently been nipped in the bud by co-operation between MI5, MI6 and the Polish intelligence service. Noses began to twitch all over Europe (but not in the British media which reported it ...

As usual with British authors working this field, most of his sources are unnamed; but his 'former officer at the Yard', 'a contact in MI5', 'a senior IRA intelligence officer', 'a former general', 'a friend in the RUC' and so forth, tell a story of continuous internecine warfare between the various bureaucracies, and covert operations and counter-terror completely out of political control.
