Description
The British Army in Northern Ireland: A Complex Conflict. When the British government sent its armed forces to Northern Ireland in 1969, it marked a significant turning point in the region's history. This study examines the experiences of soldiers from Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English regiments during Operation Banner (1969-2007), one of the most contentious military operations since World War II. Through key interviews with former soldiers, paramilitaries and Special Branch detectives, the authors shed light on the complex issues surrounding war, policy and conflict resolution. This in-depth analysis provides valuable insights into a pivotal moment in British history, raising important questions about the nature of internal conflict and the role of liberal states in responding to it. Written by two distinguished historians, Andrew Sanders and Ian S. Wood, this book offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most significant British military operations of the 20th century.
