The Beginning of the End
by Walter Ellis
In this book, sub-titled ‘The crippling disadvantage of a happy Irish childhood’, Walter Ellis writes with hilarious candour about his Protestant upbringing, education and career in journalism. Among the mix-ups and muddles of early life, he explains the bizarre friendship he fell into with Ronnie Bunting, who was to become chief of staff of the Irish National Liberation Army, a faction that played a significant role in the death and destruction of the Troubles.
