Ireland's Violent Frontier: The Border and Anglo-Irish Relations During the Troubles

by Henry Patterson

Book Overview

The IRA's ability to exploit the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland was central to the organisation's capacity to wage its 'Long War' over a quarter of a century. This book is the first to look at the role of the border in sustaining the Provisionals and its central role in Anglo-Irish relations throughout the Troubles.
