“I couldn’t conceive of doing anything else. Join an agitprop publication? I couldn’t see a future there. Become a librarian, a schoolboy dream? It wasn’t really a feasible alternative. Anyway, I needed a wage because I was on the verge of taking on a mortgage. Better, then, to button my lip and carry on.”“I came to accept that the fight between the forces of the state and a group of insurgents was unequal and therefore could not be fought on conventional terms.
