Product Description
First published in hardcover in 1971, this is a revised 1980 edition in paperback of what was to become the standard book on the IRA in the 20th century - and it arguably was hardly supplanted for many years, certainly as a bestseller. Written in 1970-71 after the renewal of the IRA as a force in Northern Ireland, it looks primarily back to the origins and evolution of the IRA from the IRB onwards.
'The IRA' by Coogan provided one of the first comprehensive history of the organization that transformed the Irish nationalist movement during the 20th Century. With clarity and objectivity, Coogan examines the IRA's origins, its foreign links, bombing campaigns, and sectarian violence and historic origins.
Well researched and backed up by interviews with past and (then) present (1980) members of the organization, Tim Pat Coogan's book was an authoritative and compelling account of modern Irish history.
Creasing and light bumping to spine, usual light page tanning.
