    If you have already read anthony Galvin's book, you needen't bother with this one, just a history of the feud. a story which is told over and over and over again by crime writers.

    He said he didn't gain much insight or learn anything he already didn't know...it turned me off reading it myself.

    I got this book and am over half way through it now. I think it is an improvement over Family Feud in that, all though much of the information is the same, it goes into more detail about events which didn't result in fatalities, looks at things from the victims view point also and while some people are referred to as Mr. A, Mr. B etc, it is not too hard to join the dots.
    I would now say that I am 95% sure of the identity of the person who concieved the plan to murder Kieran Keane and who is obviously a far bigger player than I had originally thought.
