For sure a bite sized version of the troubles but interesting nonetheless. And still managed to point out how absolutely horrible Margaret thatcher was.

Great informational book! Very factual and clearly laid out. However, I still had quite a few questions after reading and I would have like to known a little more of peoples’ motivations and logistics of in country fighting.

[Chris Bush]

Decent, high-level overview of the NI conflict. Not too in-the-weeds.
Today’s Troubles all stem from the British colonization; a familiar theme throughout history??

[Edwin Ortiz]
