Stakeknife by Martin Ingram

An investigative account of a long-term British agent embedded in the IRA’s Internal Security Unit during the Troubles, reconstructing how the mole was handled by security services and the extent to which information, arrests and killings were influenced or tolerated by handlers. Drawing on interviews, leaked documents and court reporting, it details operations, alleged collusion and cover‑ups, the moral and legal questions raised by running an insider in a terrorist organization, and the human cost for suspected informers, victims’ families and the wider community — concluding with a call for full disclosure and accountability.
