For almost three decades the troubles in Northern Ireland raged,
claiming over 3,600 lives, with civilians accounting for almost
half the fatalities. In this book, Jonathan Tonge examines the
reasons for that conflict; the motivations of the groups involved
and explores the prospects for a post-conflict Northern Ireland.
The book:
assesses the motivations and campaigns of the IRA, UVF and UDA and
other armed groups
discusses what each paramilitary group achieved through
violence
analyses the continuing controversies surrounding the Northern
Irelands dirty war
outlines the extent of collusion between British security forces
and loyalist paramilitaries
explores how governments and political parties shaped the peace
process
scrutinizes prospects for the political development of unionism and
nationalism within a devolved power sharing framework
examines whether the sectarian divide is strengthening or
weakening
concludes by assessing whether Northern Ireland can move
permanently from violence and instability to become a normal
peaceful polity, in which the war is merely a historic relic
Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, Northern Ireland
combines incisive analysis, original research and a lucid style to
provide an important assessment of what has been described as an
800 year old problem.
