One Man’s Terrorist

The conflict in Northern Ireland was one of the most devastating in post-war Europe, claiming the lives of 3,500 people and injuring many more. This book is a riveting new history of the radical politics that drove a unique insurgency that emerged from the crucible of 1968. Based on extensive archival research, ‘One Man’s Terrorist’ explores the relationship between the IRA, a clandestine army described as one of the most ruthless and capable insurgent forces in modern history, and the political movement that developed alongside it to challenge British rule.
