"We Wrecked the Place": Contemplating an End to the Northern Irish Troubles

by Jonathan Stevenson

Recording the reflections of 32 militants, both republican and loyalist, between the ceasefire and its breakdown 18 months later, this book provides a street-level picture and also a political analysis of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. As a journalist the author refrained from either lionizing or dismissing the terrorists, and as a non-Irish American he approached the conflict without preconceptions.

Good book. A little slow at the end when it discussed the peace process in Northern Ireland. Only covered up till about '96 or '97 before the Good Friday Agreement.
