The conflict in Northern Ireland was one of the most devastating in
post-war Europe, claiming the lives of 3,500 people and injuring
many more. This book is a riveting new history of the radical
politics that drove a unique insurgency that emerged from the
crucible of 1968. Based on extensive archival research, One Man's
Terrorist explores the relationship between the IRA, a clandestine
army described as 'one of the most ruthless and capable insurgent
forces in modern history', and the political movement that
developed alongside it to challenge British rule. From Wilson and
Heath to Thatcher and Blair, a generation of British politicians
had to face an unprecedented subversive threat whose reach extended
from West Belfast to Westminster. Finn shows how Republicans fought
a war on several fronts, making use of every weapon available to
achieve their goal of a united Ireland, from car bombs to election
campaigns, street marches to hunger strikes. Though driven by an
uncompromising revolutionary politics that blended militant
nationalism with left-wing ideology, their movement was never
monolithic, its history punctuated by splits and internal
conflicts. The IRA's war ultimately ended in stalemate, with the
peace process of the 1990s and the Good Friday Agreement that has
maintained an uneasy balance ever since.
