Uncivil War- Northern Ireland 1969-71

Huw Bennett reaches deep into the archives on a journey that took 8 years to produce this piece of historical importance in the understanding of the period. Rich in detail offering the reader a birdseye view of the political machinations and the knock on affect of actions taken that in hindsight may seem foolhardy and disastrous but given the information the armed forces had at the time seemed logical. The outcomes on the ground could be superimposed on an army of occupation before or since and shows how despite the best equipment and intelligence available history does repeat itself.
