Very Good Minor shelf wear to edges and corners but generally a tight and clean copy. A full length study of the situation Ireland since the troubles began in 1969 and it is an authoritative examination of the objectives, structure and leaders of the IRA. It draws on long and unusually frank interviews with the IRA activists and is an invaluable and fascinating account. This is a valuable document of record drawing together the last twenty years since the birth of the Provisional IRA. Despite huge loss of life and political upheaval, very little is known about the Organization. This research will go a long way to rectify this. 496pp. 4maps. erratum.
