Conflict in Northern Ireland

"This guide to the conflict in Northern Ireland during thirty years of the Troubles, 1968 to 1999, covers the various elements at home and abroad that have had an influence on the hostilities. The A-to-Z entries cover people, parties, organizations, and key places. Other sections cover election results (1968 to 1999), systems of government, office holders in Northern Ireland, and the security system. Further enhancing this volume are a chronology of major events (1921 to 1999) and a subject index.

First published in 1980 under the title Northern Ireland: A Political Directory, this fifth edition has been completely revised and updated."--BOOK JACKET.
