Items related to Terrorism in Northern Ireland
Synopsis
Is social violence learned? By whom? When? Is it characteristic of certain groups, in certain social strata? Under what conditions? What are its personal and social costs? What do people expect to gain from it? What does it actually accomplish? When the long-lasting and unhealing sores that violence leaves are so counterproductive, why do people resort to it rather than to more peaceful alternatives? The civil conflict in Northern Ireland since 1968 presents opportunities as a locale in which to probe for more light on these significant questions. The area is small. The participants are highly literate and vocal.

Review
Lee does a professional job in his new book, Terrorism in Northern Ireland. (Pittsburgh Catholic)
Lee argues that in Northern Ireland the pattern of terrorism, by authorities as well as insurgents, reflects class orientations. (CHOICE)
Lee has done a great service to the cause of peace. A must for all concerned. (Irish Literary Supplement)
I am very favorably impressed by its clear and revealing treatment of a very complex and puzzling episode in our contemporary world. The result is a scholarly work that not only gives an excellent treatment of the North Ireland happenings but also contributes a significant theoretical understanding of the general nature of terrorism. (Herbert Blumer, University of California, Berkeley)
The author has done a great service to the cause of peace―dynamic and continuing peace―in Northern Ireland, and his book is must reading for all concerned with a permanent resolution of the chronic conflict in that tragic country. (Afif I. Tannous, Board of Directors, International Center for Dynamics of Development)
An excellent book for the student of the Northern Ireland tragedy. (Best Sellers)
I was fully convinced that the author measured up to his declared stand and purpose, as well as to his scholarly reputation as a humanistic sociologist. (The Churchman)
The analytical lens through which the facts are filtered makes for some startling interpretations. (West European Politics)
Lee introduces his excellent study, Terrorism in Northern Ireland. (American Anthropologist)
Lee's excellent book is an antidote to this kind of preeemptive censorship. (The Irish Edition)
