From the first symptoms of serious unrest - the Divis Street riots of 1964 - to the tortuous
political manoeuvrings culminating in the 2003 Assembly elections, the book traces the reality of
life in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. It details the motivation behind the IRA 'armed
struggle', the Civil Rights movement, the murder campaigns of various loyalist terror groups, the
major incidents of violence and the response of the British security forces and the justice
system.
It describes what it was like to live with bombs, army searches in the dead of night, death
threats to politicians, activists and others. A detailed account of the political and personal toll
of the Northern Ireland conflict.
