An expose of the uses and abuses of religious bigotry in Ireland by one of the country's leading radical journalists and the author of 'War in an Irish Town' - the classic account of the impact of the 'Troubles' on ordinary people. A book that will turn heads and aggravate bigots on both sides of the religious divide in Ireland and mainland Britain, it presents arguments of immense seriousness, punctuated with McCann's wit, to illuminate the absurdities of religious dogma and the resulting cruelties and tragedies.
