I have not read anything of the biography of "Martin' but I don't think it is important to the plot. The message of the hopeless place in which he found himself was only too plain. The one thing I thought that wasn't well depicted is the difference between the english (caught in the middle) and the Ulster Defense league, (as much a terrorist mob as the IRA) It is a difficult mess to make any sense of; like pretending human bombs are part of a religious war in the Middle East. Terrorism is the same the world over so the movie certainly has relevance.
