Since the start of the current troubles, Northern Ireland's
children have been the focus of much media attention. Variously
portrayed as innocent victims of adult violence or unwitting
accomplices in the continuing conflict, they have featured widely
in the press and on television. But just how accurate is this
popular image of children 'caught in crossfire'? Ed Cairns has gone
behind the dramatic, headline snatching consequences of growing up
in Northern Ireland to examine the more subtle, long-term effects.
How do children become aware of the violence around them? How do
they become involved-directly or indirectly-in it? How is their
moral and political development affected by their situation? And
what is it that so effectively ensures the perpetuation of the
bitterness and violence between the two sections of the community
from generation to generation? These and other key questions are
investigated in this important book. It is essential reading for
everyone concerned about children growing up in Northern Ireland.
