The Troubles: Ireland's Ordeal and the Search

Tim Pat Coogan covers the tortured history of Ireland from the beginning of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, through the long years of violence, up to the present attempts to find peace. His access to many of the principals gives this book a particular authority. Going beyond the slogans and headlines, Coogan provides a hard look at the deadly drama of a divided Ireland.

Tim Pat Coogan is one of the best known journalists and historians in Ireland. Former editor of the Irish Press, he is the author of Wherever Green is Worn and The IRA.
