Written by a leading authority on ‘the troubles’, this book provides an ideal introduction to the most bitter and prolonged ethnic conflict in Western Europe since 1945
Sets out the history and motivations of each of the groups involved and analyses the tactics used by British security forces to undermine paramiliary activity and politicise the struggles
Shows how, after more than three decades of violence, Northern Ireland is moving erratically towards a more peaceful phase
Offers in-depth coverage of the latest events, from the Good Friday agreement to the suspension of the Stormont Assembly and the IRA’s implication in the recent bank robbery in Belfast
