It details the motivation behind the IRA `armed struggle', the Civil Rights movement, the murder campaigns of various loyalist terror groups, the major incidents of violence, and the response of the British security forces and the justice system. It describes what it was like to live with bombs, army searches in the dead of night, death threats to politicians, activists, and others. A detailed account of the political and personal toll of the conflict in Northern Ireland.
