## Resource

This week on the podcast, Johnny Adair talked about his role during the Troubles. "Mad Dog" Adair progressed from a skinhead youth to lead the UDA's C Company, directing over 40 murders, robberies, and operations. He waged a war against the Nationalist population, but he wanted more and was eventually expelled from Northern Ireland after turning on his fellow loyalists and trying to seize control of the Shankill. This is his story in his own words. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
