Not certain that the following would explain Red Action's position on the IRA etc. However they are excellent books which may help to explain why there is and has been support in working class areas of Ireland for the IRA.

Most of the above are concernad with the most recent period of the war-I;m sure someone else can fill you in with the older stuff. As for getting these books in the US, Ten Men Dead is easily available. The rest-check Amazon or Chapters websites and see if they're available. You can always order them from a smaller bookshop.
