"Lively and accessible. One of the best guides yet to the divisions which afflict Northern Ireland. Accurate and engaging."
Jonathan Tonge, Professor of Politics, University of Liverpool, and author of Sinn Fein and the SDLP: From Alienation to Participation
"A fresh and passionate contribution. [It] deserves as wide a readership as possible."
Arthur Aughey, Professor of Politics, University of Ulster, and author of The Politics of Northern Ireland: Beyond the Belfast Agreement
The definitive study of this troubled region.
The Northern Ireland conflict is one of the most protracted, bitter, and complex campaigns of terrorism the Western world has ever seen. Since the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, the region has come a long way, finally achieving a hard-won peace. Yet hostility between Unionists and Nationalists is as strong as ever, communities remain divided, and sectarian violence is rife.
Edwards and McGrattan’s balanced introduction skilfully dissects the “Troubles” to offer fresh perspectives on their complicated history and legacy. Containing interviews with influential figures from both communities, this landmark work will help anyone seeking a better understanding of the ongoing dispute over Northern Ireland.
"A fine work. Essential reading for anyone concerned with the political, social and historical elements of the conflict."
Martin Dillon, author of The Shankill Butchers and former BBC journalist
"Illuminating and challenging. Caters well for both the newcomer and old hands who have grown jaded with the current state of conventional wisdom."
Henry Patterson, Professor of Politics, University of Ulster, and author of Ireland since 1939: The Persistence of Conflict
"Outstanding. I would certainly recommend it."
Thomas Hennessey, Reader in History, Canterbury Christ Church University, and author of A History of Northern Ireland, 1920-1996
