- Summary:
- Compellingly written and evenhanded in its judgments, this is by far the clearest account of what happened through the years in the Northern Ireland conflict, and why. It covers the period from the late 1960s to the present shaky peace process. Behind the deluge of information and opinion about the conflict, there is a straightforward and gripping story, demanding to be told in accessible prose. This is that story.
