Could've sworn this was a stub before I added to it. No matter.

Probably needs "wikified" or "wiki-whatever", knock yourself out. Will complete the references soon. Please do NOT spam my talk page with corrections needed or spelling errors- wikistalking is not permitted on my talk page. Be Bold!

Details on preparation of explosives removed. BTW, if you can add in some history for this historic book, please feel free. The name could probably do with changing also.

I fixed it up a little. Sorry but I do not know when the IRA/PIRA/Cumann were all proscribed (declared illegal in Britain N/S.Ireland etc. I know that for Eire it was in 1936, I assume in NIreland as soon as it was setup, and for Britain probably something to do with it being declared illegal in Ireland. If you know the ins and outs of it, please fill in reference 1

No more work will take place on this as I will no longer be contributing to wikipedia. Thank you. Fluffy999 13:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

additional info taken from The Green Book

The following was taken from another article. Can it be used here? Kingturtle (talk) 15:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cover of English language edition published by the Libyan government

The "Green Book" was also the name of the training manual of the Provisional Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland, one of the many armed paramilitary organizations that Qaddafi "mentored" (with funding, training, and weapons) in the 1970s and 1980s. Although earlier editions of this book had been published for use by the IRA, the author Ed Moloney claims that the Provisional leadership under Gerry Adams was inspired by Qaddafi to rename their manual "Green Book" in 1977^[1].
