How
the Troubles Came to Northern Ireland (Contemporary History in Context)
by Peter Rose
Book Description: This book draws upon recently released official
documents and interviews with many key politicians and civil servants of
the period to examine the failure of British policy to prevent the troubles.
Peter Rose argues that if Harold Wilson's government in the late 60s had
pursued a different policy, Northern Ireland might have been spared the
troubles. Wilson had promised Catholics civil rights. However, new evidence
suggests that Westminster was deliberately gagged to prevent MPs from demanding...

Killing
Rage
by Eamon Collins, Mick McGovern (Contributor)
Eamon Collins never pulled a trigger for the Irish Republican Army.
But he helped organize several hits--some "successful," others not. Upon
joining the IRA, he was warned that "in all probability, [he] would end
up on the run, in prison, or dead." Collins would end up all three: after
a bombing attack--in which he had played no part--he was arrested, and
after five days of punishing interrogation, agreed to turn informer. Changes
of heart eventually led him to recant his confessions, and he was sent
to prison. Upon his release, the IRA forced him into exile "outside the
war zone." As time passed, he returned to his family home and tried to
move on. In 1995 Collins appeared on British television to tell the story
of his life in the IRA.
Killing Rage presents his story in fuller detail, allowing Collins to
try to explain "why a segment of people within the Catholic population
believed that the best way to redress their grievances was through violence."
Collins also painted an unsavory portrait of the IRA--while showing their
Protestant counterparts in an equally unflattering light.
In his introduction, Collins admits he is sorry about the deaths he
caused:
But my sorrow is not enough.... By exposing myself to the anger
of my former comrades and the families of my victims, I wanted to show
that I had thought long and hard about what had happened and that it is
possible to become a different person--as we all have to become different
people if we are to live together in Northern Ireland without political
violence.
Killing Rage, however, clearly reopened old wounds. Collins was found murdered
on January 28, 1999. --Sunny Delaney - Amazon.com

Special Order
The
Shankill Butchers
by Martin Dillon
Book Description: During the 1970s a group of Protestant paramilitaries
embarked on a spree of indiscriminate murder which left thirty Northern
Irish Catholics dead. Their leader was Lenny Murphy, a fanatical Unionist
whose Catholic-sounding surname led to his persecution as a child for which
he took revenge on all Catholics.
Not for the squeamish, The Shankill Butchers is a horrifyingly detailed
account of one of the most brutal series of murders in British legal history--a
phenomenon whose real nature has been obscured by the political and violent
context from which it sprang.
