This is the story of the Northern Ireland troubles told as never before. It is\nnot concerned with the political bickering, but with the lives of those who\nhave suffered and the deaths which have resulted from more than three decades\nof conflict. Over a seven-year period, the authors examined every death which\nwas directly caused by the troubles. Their research involved interviewing\nwitnesses, scouring published material, and drawing on a range of\ninvestigative sources to produce this study. They trace the origins of the\nconflict from the firing of the first shots, through the carnage of the 1970s\nand 1980s and up to the republican and loyalist ceasefires and beyond. All the\ncasualties are remembered herethe RUC officer, the young soldier, the IRA\nvolunteer, the loyalist paramilitary, the Catholic mother, the Protestant\nworker, and the new-born baby. Read more
