Summary of John West's Fry The Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Belfast brigade had been lying low, recovering from a string of successful British raids based on intelligence from ‘touts’ - what the PIRA turncoats were called. They were ready to act as they had just finished training a new urban sniper cell. #2 The group met at a pub, but not Reilley’s. Reilley’s was just the code word for meeting at a prearranged location. If the authorities were listening to their phone lines, the police would have no idea where they were actually meeting. #3 The four men, who had never met before, sat down at a table in the pub. They casually scanned the pub, taking stock of who was in it and what they were doing. Nothing out of the ordinary stood out. #4 The four men left the pub and followed Gerry to a van parked outside. The van was stolen the day before from an airport long-term parking lot by a separate PIRA unit specializing in obtaining vehicles for combat operations. The men were briefed on the key characteristics of the battlefield.
