Them & Us - Britain - Ireland And The Northern Question 1969-1982

Here is a perceptive study of the Northern Ireland problem in the period 1969-82. James Downey, deputy editor and a former London editor of The Irish Times, offers a new assessment of the turbulent events of the past decade. He traces the historical roots of the present troubles and analyses the far-reaching consequences of the policies of successive British and Irish governments regarding Northern Ireland. The book describes the real background to the most dramatic episodes of the Seventies, from the civil rights marches to the Provo campaign of violence, from the Sunningdale agreement to the Thatcher-Haughey liaison. There are illuminating insights into the operations of various factions and fascinating profiles of key political figures. In a thought-provoking final chapter, the author outlines the conditions on which a resolution of the conflict must be built.
