The next one is for you : a true story of guns, country and the IRA's secret American army

Watkins, Ali Marie2025
Book
Northern Ireland, 1975. Violence has erupted on the streets of Belfast. After years as a sleepy guerilla army, the IRA is clashing with Loyalist gangs and heavily armed British soldiers. But the Troubles have spilled beyond the small island: An ocean away, in the heart of Philadelphia's Irish enclave, a teenage girl finds a letter in her mailbox. Inside is a bullet, and the message is clear: The next one is for you. This true-crime saga is the long-buried story of how a group of Philadelphia gunrunners armed the IRA at the height of the Troubles.
