Synopsis: | When does one man’s patriot become another man’s terrorist? Aidan O’Donovan, head of the Irish Republican Army’s Northern Command regards himself as a freedom fighter. After all, if a man is denied the right to vote or to own property or even to obtain an education, how else can he change the status quo except through violence? But Sean, Aidan’s younger brother, believes that Aidan has gone too far. When the elder O’Donovan goes to IRA headquarters in Dublin with a plan for a massive raid on a government munitions dump, Sean knows it could all go terribly wrong, especially since a fellow conspirator, Jack McGonigal, may not be what he seems. A tale of betrayal and personal courage, "The Dragon’s Teeth" is an investigation of the fanaticism that drives men to kill and how the chaos of violence is planted in one generation after another, not only in Ireland, but in cultures around the world.
