Description:
Journalist and historian Rose focuses on the British Labour government's policy on Northern Ireland from October 1964 to August 1969, during which a civil rights campaign in the province and the reaction against it led finally to the outbreak of hostilities that would run three decades. Drawing on newly released papers and interviews with politicians and civil servants concerned with the policy, he argues that a British intervention at an earlier stage would have forestalled the revival and re-arming of the Provisional Irish Republican Army.
