In Dead Men Talking , Davies details the covert killing operations planned, organized and carried through by the RUC Special Branch and MI5, as well as by the British Army's covert intelligence organization, the Force Research Unit. He provides information on a number of these killings, which were authorised at the highest level of MI5 and the British government.
