Compellingly written and even-handed in its judgments, this is by far the clearest account of what has happened through the years in the Northern Ireland conflict, and why. After a chapter of background on the period from 1921 to 1963, it covers the ensuing period--the descent into violence, the hunger strikes, the Anglo-Irish accord, the bombers in England--to the present shaky peace process. Behind the deluge of information and opinion about the conflict, there is a straightforward and gripping story. Mr. McKittrick and Mr. McVea tell that story clearly, concisely, and, above all, fairly, avoiding intricate detail in favor of narrative pace and accessible prose. They describe and explain a lethal but fascinating time in Northern Ireland's history, which brought not only death, injury, and destruction but enormous political and social change. They close on an optimistic note, convinced that while peace--if it comes--will always be imperfect, a corner has now been decisively turned. The book includes a detailed chronology, statistical tables, and a glossary of terms.

COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION -- THE ESSENTIAL HISTORY OF THE TROUBLES 'Compellingly written and very even-handed. By far the clearest account of what happened in the Northern Ireland conflict and more importantly why it happened' Irish News 'Extraordinarily well-balanced, sane, comprehensive and rich in sober understatement' Glasgow Herald __________________________ First published two decades ago, Making Sense of the Troubles is widely regarded as the most 'comprehensive, considered and compassionate' (Irish Times) history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Written by a distinguished journalist and a teacher of history in Northern Ireland, it surveys the roots of the problems from 1921 onwards, the descent into violence in the late 60s, and the three terrible decades that followed. In this fully revised and updated version, McKittrick and McVea take into account the momentous events of the ten years that followed their first publication, including the disbanding of the IRA, Ian Paisley's deal with the Republicans and the historic power-sharing government in Belfast. __________________________ 'An updated reissue of a collaborative study published 12 years ago to rave reviews as a frank, accurate and authoritative narrative of events which should be required reading for anyone hoping to understand what had been going on in the North' Irish Independent 'I would strongly advocate that it be made compulsory reading for everyone in Northern Ireland because for the first time it is our history, all of it warts and all, presented in a clear and understandable way' Irish News

For quarter of a century now the British Army has been involved in a bloody and protracted conflict in Northern Ireland. This book looks at the roots of the current struggle and of British military intervention, setting both in the longer perspective of the Anglo-Irish Troubles. It is, however, more than a chronicle of military strategies and sectarian strife: it seeks to place the use of the army within the context of the wider British experience of dealing with political violence, and to address the broader issue of how democratic states have responded to both ethnic conflict and the threat of `internal' disorder

"The Troubles" in Northern Ireland have proved to be one of the most intractable conflicts in Europe since the Second World War, consistently attracting international attention, particularly from the United States. This highly readable exploration of the central issues and debates about Northern Ireland sets them in the historical context of hundreds of years of conflict. It introduces all the key figures and organizations involved in current violent and political conflicts and tackles many questions, such as: What accounts for the perpetuation of ethnic and religious conflict in Ireland? Why has armed violence proven so hard to control? Who are the major figures and issues in the conflict? Can we expect more "Northern Irelands" in the future? A concise, reliable introduction to the historical and current situation, this book is ideal reading for anyone wanting to know more about the political climate of Northern Ireland.

FRONT OF COVER: Final: 5.11.98 NORTHERN IRELAND SINCE 1945 Second Edition SABINE WICHERT [Postwar World logo] SPINE: [Postwar World logo] NORTHERN IRELAND SINCE 1945 Second Edition WICHERT [colophon] OUTSIDE TRIM: Probable price: Probable publication: BACK OF COVER: ATo those who understand, no explanation is necessary. To those who will not understand, no explanation is possible.A The different attitudes that can be read into this celebrated graffito from the Falls Road in 1980s Belfast - arrogance, belligerence, alienation, intransigence and despair amongst them - have all contributed to the isolation of Northern Ireland in the modern world. Explanation and understanding, however, are the stock in trade of the historian, and it was to to provide the first and assist the second that Sabine Wichert published this well-known study in 1991. It rapidly established itself - as Terence Ranger predicted at the time in Irish Studies Review - as Aa standard text in contemporary history and politics coursesA. (For other reviews of the First Edition, see inside the front cover.) There are many reasons for its success: it is a work of great authority, formidably well grounded in the scholarship, rather than the prejudices, of the subject; Sabine WichertAs approach is distinctively that of a historian, rather than a political scientist or a journalist; she has a special understanding of the economic factors underlying the troubled provinceAs recent history; and, particularly, she herself - a German academic who has lived and worked in Northern Ireland for almost 30 years now - is uniquely well placed, asboth outsider and insider, to write with impartiality, insight and compassion about her adopted home. Much has happened to Northern Ireland since the book was published, and this Second Edition will be widely welcomed. The existing text has been reconsidered in the light of fresh perspectives; and many new economic and social tables have been included, along with a thoroughgoing overhaul of the extensive bibliography. Above all, the coverage has been fully updated to incorporate the major events of recent years, particularly the developments from the Anglo-Irish Agreement through the evolving Peace Process to the elections to Northern IrelandAs new Assembly. For this is a critical phase in the province: for the first time in its recent history a real possibility of stabilisation and more peaceful and democratic forms of government can be detected, and Sabine Wichert examines the contribution of all sides (including the Irish, British and US governments) to this changing climate. Yet tensions remain, and readers of this important Second Edition will await, with mingled hope and apprehension, the arrival of its eventual successor to clarify whether these apparently brightening horizons do indeed mark a turning point, or were only another false dawn. SABINE WICHERT is Senior Lecturer at the QueenAs University of Belfast, where she has taught since 1971.

The complete history of Northern Ireland from the Irish Civil War to Brexit “A wonderful book, beautifully written. . . . Informative and incisive.”—Irish Times After two decades of relative peace following the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, the Brexit referendum in 2016 reopened the Northern Ireland question. In this thoughtful and engaging book, Feargal Cochrane considers the region’s troubled history from the struggle for Irish independence in the nineteenth century to the present. New chapters explain the reasons for the suspension of devolved government at Stormont in 2017 and its restoration in 2020 as well as the consequences for Northern Ireland of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. Providing a complete account of the province’s hundred-year history, this book is essential reading to understand the present dimensions of the Northern Irish conflict.
