This highly praised study traces the province's history from
partition in 1921 to today's peace process. Widely acknowledged as
the best informed academic observers of Northern Irish politics,
the authors look behind the handshakes on the White House lawn and
provide a fascinating insight into history as it unfolds in the
headlines and on news bulletins.
The story is familiar to movie fans-the horrifying tale of the 1907
book The Man-Eaters of Tsavo has been retold by Hollywood many
times, most recently in the 1996 film The Ghost and the
Darkness-but hearing it directly from the source remains a
thrill.Patterson, a natural storyteller, immerses us in the horror
of the workers' fear and his own attempts to track the beast, which
eventually would kill 140 people before Patterson took them
out.This real-life escapade will rivet fans of adventure fiction
and nonfiction alike.Anglo-Irish hunter JOHN HENRY PATTERSON
(1867-1947) was an officer in the British army when he was
commissioned by the British East Africa Company to oversee the
construction of a railway bridge in Kenya. Just after he arrived in
Africa, a pair of rogue male lions-animals that do not typically
attack humans-began preying on the railroad workers, killing them
viciously and consuming their corpses.
This is the first comprehensive study of the IRA's attempts to
create a "social republicanism, " a marriage between militant
nationalism and the politics of the left. From agitation among the
peasantry in the 1920s to efforts in the 1990s to add a political
dimension to purist nationalism in the form of Sinn Fein's "peace
process, " Henry Patterson analyzes the various failed attempts to
marry two fundamentally incompatible ideologies.
