The Irish troubles : a generation of violence, 1967-1992
History of the conflict that has made the term "Northern Ireland" synonymous with bloodshed and disorder for the past quarter century. Beginning with the first act of civil disobedience in Belfast in 1967 and ranging from Ireland to England and America, this volume presents a definitive history filled with drama, disaster, heroism, and terror. It also discusses why so many attempts at resolving the crisis have failed. -- Publisher description
