Description
Over a long period of time, Northern Ireland was seldom out of the news. Throughout this time, the British have found themselves waging a counter-terrorist campaign on their own doorstep which seemed to have no end in sight. Yet, the causes of the conflict, as this book shows, stretch back almost into prehistory. Indeed, it is this sense of history which so many people with Irish blood in their veins feel that has caused them to become so polarised in their views. Taking an impartial standpoint, the author fills in the background to the troubles and recounts their course. He examines the roles of politicians, paramilitaries and security forces and shows how initiatives, both political and military, failed to achieve any concrete progress towards peace. The author believes that there is a way forward, but it will take time. For those who want to understand Ulster's dilemma without being subjected to political cant, Northern Ireland: The Troubles, with its honesty and objectivity, provides the ideal introduction.
