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.
