After a chapter of background on the period from 1921 to 1963, it covers the ensuing period—the descent into violence, the hunger strikes, the Anglo-Irish accord, the bombers in England—to the present shaky peace process. Behind the deluge of information and opinion about the conflict, there is a straightforward and gripping story. Mr. McKittrick and Mr. McVea tell that story clearly, concisely, and, above all, fairly, avoiding intricate detail in favor of narrative pace and accessible prose. They describe and explain a lethal but fascinating time in Northern Ireland's history, which brought not only death, injury, and destruction but enormous political and social change. They close on an optimistic note, convinced that while peace—if it comes—will always be imperfect, a corner has now been decisively turned. The book includes a detailed chronology, statistical tables, and a glossary of terms.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 242mmItem Length: 165mmItem Width: 33mmItem Weight: 676gAuthor: David McVea, David McKittrickGenre: HistoryTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
