This title shows how 'The Troubles' in Ulster defined the Scottish
and British military experience post-WW2. 'Bloody Sunday' is one of
the iconic moments in British History, but what were the
experiences of the soldiers in Ulster, many of them Scottish, and
how did the wider events of the Troubles figure in their minds?
Wood and Sanders give voice to these soldiers, with many new
documents, interviews and diary entries now released to the public
domain. On top of the seismic findings of the Saville report, this
analysis is a timely revisit to events which still echo in the
political consciousness of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. It
is a period of history which prompts many questions about a liberal
state. If it feels under armed threat within what it claims are its
own borders, how should it respond and what are the rules of
engagement? How accountable should they be to politicians, the
public and the media? At what point do such operations become
definable as war and how do they affect those who are called upon
to carry them out? This book attempts to answer those questions.
