• Major new account of the Troubles drawing on extensive new evidence including government and regimental records as well as contemporary politicians, civil servants, journalists, paramilitaries and human rights activists

• Uncovers the interactions between the British Army, the IRA and loyalist paramilitary groups, shedding new light on British decision-making, the nature of the violence and why the conflict lasted so long

• Shows how military strategy succeeded in suppressing the level of violence but only by making the conflict more geographically dispersed, more sectarian in character, and by radicalising the participants to the point where endless war seemed inevitable
