The IRA is one of the longest-established terrorist organizations
in the world and conducted a ferociously violent campaign for
almost 30 years. Now deeply enmeshed in the Northern Ireland peace
process, this new book asks how one of the bloodiest terrorist
movements of our time decided to swap weapons for the ballot box?
"Killing for Ireland "presents an unparalleled investigation of the
motives and opinions of Irish republican activists. Based on over
seventy interviews conducted with former and existing members of
the IRA, the author also provides a rigorous evaluation of the
personal and political consequences of the IRA's campaign of
violence. The analysis of these interviews radically challenges the
dominant academic analysis of Irish terrorism. This book includes a
strong criticism of the armed struggle constructed around the
discourse of those who waged it and answers the question faced by
many armed revolutionary movements: "Was the war worth it?"
Translated from the critically acclaimed "Matar por Irlanda" and
available in English for the first time, this volume provides a
provocative and new approach to understanding the IRA. It is
essential reading for readers and researchers with an interest
Irish politics and history, terrorism and political violence.
