Review

Irish Times
“The first and more gripping half of this fascinating, important book by Ed Moloney recreates Hughes’s IRA career through his later reflections on it.”

Daily Express
“This candid analysis of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, as seen through the eyes of two men of violence, is full of revelations...The memories of both men are vivid, gossipy and informed by an intense moral passion.”

Telegraph“[A] moving new book, which traces the conflict from [Hughes’ and Erskine’s] often diametrically opposed perspectives... Moloney’s book expertly interweaves the two men’s recollections with a detailed narrative of the conflict.”

Telegraph, April 17, 2010
“[A] moving new book, which traces the conflict from [Hughes’ and Erskine’s] often diametrically opposed perspectives... Moloney’s book expertly interweaves the two men’s recollections with a detailed narrative of the conflict.”

Open Democracy
"How do you document the history of a conflict in which illegal organisations are among the central players? Voices from the Grave, by the veteran Northern Ireland correspondent Ed Moloney, is an intriguing attempt to answer that question.” Irish Central, July 23, 2010
