Colin Breen’s A Force Like No Other is a story of courage and decency amid very difficult circumstances.

It’s a collection of experiences from Breen and others who served alongside him in the Royal Ulster Constabulary, Northern Ireland’s police service between 1922-2001. The author’s documenting of RUC officer experiences is primarily focused on “the Troubles” period of sectarian violence in the 1970s and 1980s.
