Description
The Provos: The IRA and Sinn Fein The IRA's fortunes had seemed all but lost by 1969, but just a few years later it had re-emerged as a sophisticated and feared terrorist organisation. This book examines the key events in the IRA's history since 1969, shedding light on the complex and often contradictory nature of its development. From its origins in the late 1960s to the present day, the Provos have been a major force in Irish politics and conflict. This study provides a detailed and balanced account of the IRA's history, exploring the factors that have driven its evolution and the impact of its actions on the wider world. Through a meticulous examination of key events and figures, Peter Taylor provides a nuanced understanding of the Provos and their place in modern Irish history.
