A Shadow of Liberty is the first novel from the pen of John Crawley, author of the best-selling autobiography The Yank.

 It tells the story of an IRA Active Service Unit operating against Her Majesty's forces along the British-imposed border in Ireland during the early 1990s. Fighting for the unity of their country while forced to contend with the vast resources of both states in Ireland being focused relentlessly against them, these young Volunteers stake their lives and liberty in pursuit of a noble ideal.

Threatened by the guns of a British enemy that they can see, they are heedless of a far more dangerous enemy lurking within.

In this exciting action thriller, the reader is transported to a time and place few could imagine, and fewer dared to tread.
