Review
"[A] definitive history of the IRA" -- The New York Review of Books
"This is a very fine book. It is elegant and persuasively argued from a man who really does know what he is talking about. The long view of Richard English is vital in an age of the knee-jerk."--Fergal Keane, BBC Special Correspondent
"Richard English is the author of outstanding histories of the IRA and Irish nationalism. Thoughtful scholarship lies at the heart of his fine analysis of terrorism as both a military and a political problem...In exploring this huge subject, English makes many telling points...while using history to console us with the thought that many terrorist movements eventually atrophy, provided societies have the resilience to see them out"--Literary Review

A superlative piece of scholarship which not only escapes but refutes the Neoconservative terrorist ideology to embrace the subject in the concrete moment of history. Professor English's work is a much needed corrective to the theoretical, idealist and ideological fog in which so much academic studies of the subject have been engulfed. One can only hope that this book will find a large readership in the corridors of power in Whitehall and beyond. Buy it, read it.
