In this new book about Northern Ireland, historian Peter Rose
argues that if Harold Wilson's government in the late sixties had
pursued a different policy, the province might have been spared the
troubles. Wilson had promised the Catholics that they would be
granted their civil rights. However, new evidence suggests that
Westminster was deliberately gagged to prevent MPs demanding that
the Stormont administration end discrimination in the province. Had
the government acted on intelligence of growing Catholic unrest, it
could have prevented the rise of the Provisional IRA without
provoking an unmanageable Protestant backlash. This book draws upon
recently released official documents and interviews with many key
politicians and civil servants of the period to examine the failure
of British policy to prevent the troubles.
