This is the story of the boy who left home in 1970 and has still not returned, thanks to a conflict which stole the innocence of three full generations in Northern Ireland. Thomas McNulty was a protagonist in the conflict, but whether you see him as a soldier, terrorist, freedom fighter or a victim himself makes no difference; his story is about a young man whose life was changed by the actions of others. His path, like thousands of others, was preordained and this book is a human insight into what happened to good people, on both sides of the conflict, and how they persevered, against the odds, to make the peace seen today.
Beginning with his early childhood, McNulty's easy to read style quickly draws you in as he tells you his story; the human story, about him, his friends and comrades, his family, his neighbours, protestant and catholic alike, and how a conflict which never should have happened destroyed the hopes and dreams of so many good people for so long.
