Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Features recorded by Parliamentary Commissions on civil disorder in Northern Ireland during the 19th century barricades in the streets, allegations of bias against the police, "no-go" areas, joint army and police patrols, "snatch-squads", Catholic gun clubs and a Protestant Defence Association, soldiers forming a "peace line" between the Shankill and the Falls, and battles in Bogside. Therefore the view that the present troubles in Ulster are simply the product of Irish history is widely accepted. But how, exactly does the influence of the past operate on the present? This book examines five important aspects of Ulster history since 1609, when the Plantation of Ulster began, and in the mosaic of rebellion, siege, secret armies, marches, ambushes, and riots suggest a new interpretation of what had been going on in Ulster since 1969. "The Narrow Ground", first published in 1977, is a joint winner of the Ewart-Biggs Memorial Prize.
