Product Description
It would be comforting to claim that Ireland came of age during this period' writes Bruce Arnold... ' the evidence does not support that claim' ...
Arnold examines the relationship between the Republic and Northern Ireland and the UK from the start of the Troubles era - including Sunningdale, the Arms Crisis - the FG governement of the 1970's and the rise of Haughey in FF. The many bizzare events of the era are also examined - GUBU and the phone-tapping scandals which Arnold himself was a victim of.
