MRF SHADOW TROOP
Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B76036
English Summary/英文概要： Some think it stood for ‘Military Reconnaissance Force’, others ‘Mobile Reconnaissance Force’. Many people thought it didn’t exist at all and was made up, a figment of the press’s imagination. To the members of the group that was just fine. It added to the illusion, and the speculation about the unit’s name and mission only added to the uncertainty amongst their targets — terrorists — members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, the IRA, the provos.
For decades there has been argument in the media and amongst politicians about the possible existence and extent of a shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland.
MRF Shadow Troop confirms there was such an agenda in the early, chaotic days of British military intervention across the Irish Sea. Amongst the mountain of speculation there is little of any accuracy or authority relating to this period.
Simon Cursey was recruited into the Military Reaction Force — the unit’s true name — in 1972. This book is his personal account of his time with the group and in it he reveals the truth about their operations — the briefings, missions, political wrangling, and government-sanctioned law-bending.
With documents and photographs to corroborate all his revelations, Shadow Troop is a fascinating, exciting, but above all accurate historical text about the pioneers of counter-terrorism.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一些人认为MRF代表军事侦察部队，另一些人则以为是移动侦察部队，还有很多人以为MRF部队只是媒体的想象，并不存在。这样的误解能够混淆视听，使恐怖分子对这支队伍的真正组成和任务一无所知，恐怖分子指的则是临时爱尔兰共和军，爱尔兰共和军和北爱尔兰共和军临时派成员。几十年来，媒体和政客都在为北爱尔兰实行恐怖分子当场击毙政策实施的可能性进行激烈的讨论。军事反应部队确认早期在英国军事干预爱尔兰海域的混乱时期确有这样的政策。
西蒙•柯西于1972年进入军事反应部队。这本书记录了他在部队期间的故事，他发现了部队运行机制的真相——部队的作战指示，任务，政治角力和政府批准的法律扭曲等。
《军事反应部队》中的文字和照片都证实了柯西的发现，这些真实的历史材料描述了反恐先锋的真实历程。（XAT）

About the Author/作者介绍： 西蒙•柯西15岁离开校园，加入了英国军队。19岁时他成为了步兵部队的一名军士，并在加拿大，非洲和欧洲等地驻扎。21岁时，西蒙被选入了从事间谍，隐蔽军事活动组织——军士反应部队。这支英国军士情报反恐部队在北爱尔兰局势最动荡的时期成立，只存在了三年。受朋友影响，也因为近年公众对于军事反应部队以及其成员活动的误解，西蒙开始着手写作这本《军士反应部队》。西蒙退出军士反应部队后经过了几年艰难的军队适应期，决定离开英国部队，在意大利的一个小镇里过起了平和的生活。
Simon Cursey, joined the British Army at the age of 15, direct from school. By the time he was 19, he was an NCO in an infantry unit and travelled to Canada, Africa and most of Europe. When he was 21, he was singled out, selected and trained for a covert, undercover, counter-terrorist unit; the long-denied Military Reaction Force (MRF) which was a short lived British Military Intelligence counter-terrorist unit, formed in the most dramatic period of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, from 1971 to 1974. Influenced by friends, Simon decided to write this book because of the years of lies and misinformation surrounding the MRF and its activities, also to honour the brave men he had the pleasure to work alongside. After his time in the MRF and a few difficult years adjusting back into uniform, Simon decided to leave the British Army to follow other interests and now lives in a peaceful Alpine village in Italy.
