The Northern Ireland conflict was the most protracted campaign of terrorist violence in modern history. This landmark introduction uses interviews and the latest archival material to chart the history of “The Troubles” and examine their legacy. Exploring the effects of sectarian violence, international intervention, and community relations programs, this book extends beyond the usual clichés found elsewhere.
