"From Civil Rights to Armalites traces and analyzes the escalation of conflict in Northern Ireland from the first civil rights marches to the verge of full-scale civil war in 1972, focusing on the city of Derry. It explains how a peaceful civil rights campaign gave way to increasing violence, how the IRA became a major political force, and how the British army became a major party to the conflict. It provides the essential context for understanding the events of Bloody Sunday and a new chapter brings significant new material to the public debate around the Bloody Sunday Inquiry.O'Dochartaigh, Niall is the author of 'From Civil Rights to Armalites Derry & the Birth of the Irish Troubles', published 2005 under ISBN 9781403944313 and ISBN 1403944318.
