In the early twentieth century there was a war brewing on Britain's
doorstep. Northern Ireland was filled with discrimination and
suspicion, a sense of foreboding that would soon erupt into
full-blown rioting. As the fiftieth anniversary of the Troubles
approaches, Ken Wharton takes a thorough look at the start of the
Troubles, the precursors and the explosion of violence in 1969 that
would last until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. In all, the
Troubles cost 50,000 casualties and nearly 2,000 civilians' lives
across Northern Ireland, the Republic and England. Utterly
condemnatory of the paramilitaries, Wharton pulls no punches in his
assessment of the situation then and seeks to dismiss apologists
today. His sympathy lies first with those tasked with keeping order
in the province, but also with the innocent civilians caught up in
thirty years of bloodshed. Torn Apart is an in-depth look at the
start of the Troubles, looking at the seminal moments and Northern
Ireland today using the powerful testimony of those who were there
at the time.
