Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dessie O'Hare, also known as "The Border Fox," is an Irish republican paramilitary, who was once the most wanted man in Ireland. O'Hare was originally a volunteer in the Provisional Irish Republican Army but left in the late 1970s following a series of disciplinary clashes. He later joined the Irish National Liberation Army. After kidnapping a Dublin dentist and cutting off two of his fingers in 1987 he was imprisoned until 2006, when he was granted extended temporary release. O'Hare was born in Keady, County Armagh, Northern Ireland into a family with a strong republican background. His grandmother was imprisoned for six months in Holloway Gaol for "keeping republicans," and his father and six of his uncles were interned between 1940 and 1944. O'Hare joined the South Armagh Brigade of the Provisional IRA at the age of 16, and was part of a unit that targeted off-duty members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and Ulster Defence Regiment
