Episode 3 - Red Army Factions

In this episode I chat to Henry McDonald, Ireland correspondent for The Guardian and Observer. He is also co-author of 'UVF' (w/Jim Cusack), 'INLA - Deadly Divisions' (w/Jack Holland) and 'UDA - Inside the Heart of Loyalist Terror' (w/Jim Cusack). He has also written a biography of David Trimble and recently 'Martin McGuinness - A Life Remembered'. Henry is also a fiction writer, and his debut novel 'The Swinging Detective' was published in 2017. In this episode we chat about his upcoming second novel, 'Red Army Factions' (Merrion, September 2019) and how Henry's involvement in the punk music scene and Cliftonville's 'Red Army' of late 1970s Belfast provided a real-life cast of characters to choose from when writing the book.
