Philip, Apologies for not reading your original request properly, as I was scanning through stacks of e-mails. I have read autobiographies dealing with Gusty Spence etc. However, you might find this site useful. http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/people/biography/speople.htm PD & LE Strong <plstrong@pnc.com.au> wrote: Thanks Brian for your suggestion, but Joe Cahill was the Belfast commander of the IRA. I would like to read a biographical book which tells us about every day life in Belfast from the opposing Unionist point of view, to get a balanced picture.
