The Troubles understoodBy iOZ0TrLuS JoAnn DI agree with another reviewer that pictures would have helped to lKDiuleFb understand the dialogue, but the internet helped provide that. Having watched j4x4nvMlH what happened in Northern Ireland with interest during the 70's onward I felt the zS0ohWYeT need to understand the whole picture and this book provided me with that. When I XKuNyvyZ5 first moved to the St Paul MN during the troubles I went to an Irish where I jxQ1TCy1e put money in a can to help the children of . Now I am not sure where that m8fvzPBkw money went but I know many Irish Americans felt the IRA were Freedom Fighters. The IRA along with the Protestant Loyalist killers would receive no sympathy in this age. I think that Non-violent Civil Disobedience would have made more of an impact. It is hard to believe that to this day there is a wall separating the Catholic and Protestant in one area of Belfast.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great primer on The Troubles, good place to startBy SkipA brisk review of The Troubles written fairly well and finely researched. If you're looking for a primer on this era, Making Sense of The Troubles is a great place to start. The authors cover all major events of the period, delving deeper into some than others, doing a particularly good job on the peace process. Overall, a nice job offering a quick look at The Troubles and a good starting point if this is your first look into these complicated years.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Movies like In the name of the Father and 71 pushed ...By Daniele Vecchithere is always something fascinating about the war in Northern Ireland and the overlapping between religious and political reasons. Movies like In the name of the Father and 71 pushed me to read the book. it is very well written with a style more similar to a diary than to an essay. For those who love history it gives a balanced perspective of the Troubles

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 periodthe descent into violence, the hunger strikes, the Anglo- Irish accord, the bombers in Englandto 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 peaceif it comeswill always be imperfect, a corner has now been decisively turned. The book includes a detailed chronology, statistical tables, and a glossary of terms.
