In Herod: Reflections on Political Violence (first published in
1978) Conor Cruise O'Brien collects a number of essays alongside
three short plays that dramatise political arguments through the
infamous figure of the Roman king of Judaea for whom the collection
is named. 'A great book. In it, O'Brien not only denounces IRA
terrorism, as you would expect from a mainstream politician, but -
in a sense quite different from the rationalisations offered by
ideological apologists for political violence - seeks to understand
it. I mean, really understand it - not extenuate it by equivocation
and non sequitur. And his thinking leads him to attack the
republican mythology at the heart of the Irish state. Few writers
have analysed terrorism so acutely or been as effective in
undermining its ideological justifications.' Oliver Kamm, from his
preface to this edition
