Making Sense Of The Troubles

Product Description

A comprehensive, considered & compassionate survey'
- Paul Arthur, Irish Times. ' This is an extremely important publication & I would strongly advocate that it be made compulsory reading for everyone in Northern Ireland because for the first time it is our history, all of it warts & all, presented in a clear & understandable way'
- Joanna Braniff, Irish News. ' Extraordinarily well-balanced, sane, comprehensive & rich in sober understatement'
- Cal Mc Crystal, Glasgow Herald. ' This is the story of the Troubles, of three decades of violent conflict, of the unsettled society out of which the strife erupted, & of the imperfect peace into which the North is uneasily settling... Mc Kittrick is one of the North's most authoritative analysts, & Mc Vea taught history for years to children for whom the Troubles were everyday life'
- Susan Mc Kay, Sunday Tribune. ' Even-handed, clearly written, & set to become one of the definitive works on the subject'
- Scotland on Sunday. ' Given the impact & success of Mc Kittrick's previous work, Lost Lives, it was a lot to expect a book of equal standing & credibility. For those looking for a pragmatic understanding of the country known as Northern Ireland it is essential reading'
- John Coulter, Sunday Business Post.
