While there have been many books written about the IRA since 1916,
comparatively little attention has been paid to the organisation
during the 1960s, despite the fact that the internal divisions
culminating in the 1969 split are often seen as key to the conflict
which erupted that year. This book, newly available in paperback,
redresses that vacuum and through an exhaustive survey of internal
and official sources, as well as interviews with key IRA members,
provides a unique and fascinating insight into radical Republican
politics which will be of interest to those interested in Irish
history and politics. The author looks at the root of the divisions
which centred on conflicting attitudes within the IRA on armed
struggle, electoral participation and socialism. He argues that
while the IRA did not consciously plan the northern 'Troubles', the
internal debate of the 1960s had implications for what happened in
1969. -- .
