À propos de cet audio
The IRA has been a much richer, more complexly layered, and more protean organization than is frequently recognized. It is also more open to balanced examination now - at the end of its long war in the north of Ireland - than it was even a few years ago.
Richard English's brilliant audiobook offers a detailed history of the IRA, providing invaluable historical depth to our understanding of the modern-day Provisionals, the more militant wing formed in 1969 dedicated to the removal of the British Government from Northern Ireland and the reunification of Ireland. English examines the dramatic events of the Easter Rising in 1916 and the bitter guerrilla war of 1919-21, the partitioning of Ireland in the 1920s, and the Irish Civil War of 1922-23. Here, too, are the IRA campaigns in Northern Ireland and Britain from the 1930s through the 1960s. He shows how the Provisionals were born out of the turbulence generated by the 1960s civil rights movement, and examines the escalating violence that introduced British troops to the streets of Northern Ireland. He also examines the split in the IRA that produced the Provisionals, the introduction of internment in 1971, and the tragedy of Bloody Sunday in 1972.

The best unbiased account of the IRA there is.
This is easily the most deeply informative general source on the history of Irish Republicanism and the IRA itself. It's presentation of the history of the Provisional IRA specifically is what stands out. It is both engaging and thorough, and manages to avoid bias moreso than any volume on the topic. As an avid researcher of The Troubles, and a family member of one of the people mentioned in the novel, I can strongly affirm not only the accuracy of the accounts, but likewise the ideologies and viewpoints from every major player involved. If you want information and a strong source, look no further - this is the best there is.

Dry
This book is full of in-depth detail but it’s presentation is so dry that it’s hard to follow. There are too many long list of names, half of which are never mentioned more than once. The acronyms, although defined clearly in the beginning, easily become mixed up to the listener pretty quickly.
The narrator, however, is excellent.
