Having read several other books on the Troubles such as Voices From the Grave, and Rebel Hearts, this book is the best one yet. It tells the story of Eamon Collins who joins the Provisional IRA and becomes an intelligence officer in the Newry area of Northern Ireland, before finally becoming disenchanted with the IRA and leaving the movement. While Collins does not commit any killings or bombings personally he becomes responsible for identifying and conducting surveillance on potential targets who are often members of the RUC or reserve members of the UDR. Collins ability to set up and target people who he often interacted with and respected on a personal level shows the frightening polarization of the Troubles and its us vs them mentality. Collins comes off as very well educated and intelligent in his writing, and often offers insightful views into the work of the IRA and Sinn Fein .His assertion that Sinn Fein and Gerry Adams had basically decided that the armed struggle was not viable by the 1980s and had decided to pursue political means is interesting considering the violence still dragged on into the 1990s. While Collins did walk away from the IRA after a disillusioned period as a temporary informer or 'grass' and a spell in prison the IRA obviously did not walk away from him. The publication of this book along with his defiance of the local IRA probably spelled his doom and he was brutally murdered in 1999. Apparently beaten and stabbed so badly it took awhile to identify him. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the Troubles and the use of political violence. The book requires a thorough knowledge of the troubles to understand and for this reason I do not recommend that it be the first book read by readers unfamiliar with this subject. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ KILLING RAGE *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2005* KILLING RAGE, by Eamon Collins quickly becomes one of those rare books you can't put down! No matter how slowly you may read, you won't quit until the last page is turned.Collins takes the reader far away from the safety of home hearth, and drops him/her into the vicious jaws of the IRA and then, deeper into the dark abyss of his own tortured guilt-ridden soul.Throughout the book, the author insistently tries to convince himself (and the reader), that the decisions he chose to make were correct. Despite his confessed acts of criminality, conspiracy to murder, terrorism, and deceit, he makes a good and..."Almost" convincing defense for his actions and misguided devotions.Collins gives the reader the most unique and realistic peek into the political and religious imbroglios of Ireland, than any other author I have ever read. His writing and descriptions of events will chill your blood and raise the hair on your neck more than any Banshee ever could!A superb book...a gargantuan human tragedy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Going down the Damascus road' *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2010* Eamon Collins memoir is the emotional Odyssey of how one young, intelligent, educated Catholic man from northern Ireland, with a good job, was filled with such a killing rage that he became a ruthless IRA operative and the epiphany that he experienced which ultimately led him to renounce all paramilitary violence. I believe his recollections to be the most important volume of the troubles written by a former paramilitary specifically because it let's us into his inner emotional world. Sadly, in 1999, Eamon's former comrades exacted a terrible revenge for his outspokenness by assassinating him in what one hardened detective described as 'one of the most gruesome murders of the entire Troubles'. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13163229-killing-rage](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13163229-killing-rage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
