Product Description
The Job. It requires superhuman beings with limitless patience and dedication. It needs men and women with no feelings or emotions, who must endure enormous provocation and never react; men and women who must never do anything wrong and must never make any mistakes.
The Town. Altavellan in Northern Ireland, the most dangerous place on earth to be a policeman. Here the bombings, shootings and killings continue. Insanity rages.
It is 1981. As the eyes of the world focus on the Maze Prison, where ten Republican prisoners prepare to starve themselves to death, seven people try frantically to hold their lives together. Nights in Armour follows those in the job. Montgomery, Clark, Craig, Duncan, McKnight, Mitchell and Reid-men and women with different values, different opinions-united by long hours of duty and twenty-four hour danger, a solitary world where the ordinary may not enter.
Pilloried by those who will end the madness-but only on their own terms-some ars pushed beyond the levels of human endurance and finally, a series of events brings an era in their lives to an end.
Nobody listens; nobody cares. They do their best. It isn't enough.
Suicide, divorce, madness. No other printed work has ever shown the extraordinary stresses and burdens members of the RUC must carry-until now . . .
