Summary:

An unorthodox account of the Northern Ireland conflict, arguing that Loyalists were willing to make peace with Republicans as early as the 1970's. 'Northern Ireland's Lost Opportunity' is an in-depth investigation into working-class Loyalism in Northern Ireland as represented by the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), the Red Hand Commando (RHC) and their political allies. In an unorthodox account, Tony Novosel argues that these groups, seen as implacable enemies by Republicans and the left, did develop a political analysis of the Northern Ireland conflict in the 1970's which involved a compromise peace with all political parties and warring factions - something that historians and writers have largely ignored.
