| Description: |
The inside story of the biggest ever bank raid in northern Europe. Chris Moore tells how the IRA pulled off a coup that landed them with as much trouble as money, that completely derailed the fragile Peace Process and that shattered the credibility of Sinn Fein. |
| Synopsis: |
Chris Moore shows how the Australian owners of the Northern Bank systematically cut costs at the price of comprising security. Simple but effective security routines, were discontinued. Traditional practices aimed at frustrating thieves and robbers were compromised in the interest of cutting costs. The net effect was to leave the bank uniquely vulnerable to the sort of heist that actually took place. Of course, nobody knew that the pickings were going to be so rich. But the point that the book stresses is that the bank was there for the taking. Chris Moore also summarises the fall-out from, and consequences of, this extraordinary bank raid. |
