[rear cover:]
On March 6, 1988, acting on Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s authority, members of Britain’s Special Air Service shot dead three unarmed Irish Republican Army operatives in Gibraltar. Their deaths set off a chain reaction of violence in Belfast that ultimately claimed eight lives and left three young men serving life sentences in prison for murders they did not commit. Now, after ten years of willed forgetfulness and cover-up, Nicholas Eckert has ripped open the badly healed wound of the Gibraltar killings with this detailed exposé.
Drawing on a mountain of source material, Fatal Encounter explains what really happened on the Rock and why the killings there still haunt Ireland and Britain. Resurrecting the full horror of “Mad” March 1988, it is a haunting and totally damning indictment of both the SAS and the IRA.
Nicholas Eckert is a former American Army intelligence officer and a long-time student of the conflict in Ireland."
Published 1999.
