KEN WHARTON is a former soldier who has committed himself to telling the history of the Troubles without pulling punches from the standpoint of the Security Forces and innocent civilians. He has previously written The Bloodiest Year, Bloody Belfast and Torn Apart for The History Press, and was associate producer of the History Channel’s Soldiers’ Stories: Northern Ireland. He has also given lectures on the Troubles at Sandhurst Academy.
Ken Wharton’s epic history of the black days in Northern Ireland is
both stark and sensitive. We all owe him a great debt for his
dedication to keeping the memory of the Troubles alive.

A deeply moving and extremely important contemplation of the
horrors of Northern Ireland’s Troubles and their aftermath.

To A Dark Place shatters your senses and chills the blood in a way
only Ken Wharton can. It’s a tale of unmitigated terror all the
more horrifying for its truth, when fiends of either stripe,
Loyalist or Republican, roamed the streets of Northern Ireland,
popping up on doorsteps like gruesome Jack-in-the-boxes, and
“offing” innocents for spurious offences against “the cause”.
