Summary:

Until 1969 there was only one Irish Republican Army; since then, it has splintered into The Real IRA, the Continuity IRA, the Irish National Liberation Army, the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA. Andrew Sanders explains how and why the IRA became several IRAs, analysing all the dissident factions that have emerged since the outbreak of the Troubles. The book includes extensive archival evidence and exclusive interviews with members of all dissident and mainstream republican organizations, all loyalist factions, and security force sources.
