Northern Ireland

This book, written by Michael Kronenwetter, details the origins of the conflict in Northern Ireland and the events that brought about the creation of the Republic of Ireland. The book also covers the acts of terrorism carried out by Nationalist groups, such as the provisional wing of the IRA, and Unionists as well(UDA, UFF). Although he voiced some of his opinions I found it to be an amazingly unbiased review in the fact that he did not blame a single side for the Troubles, but instead discussed the three sources of violence: Nationalist, Loyalist, and Government(RUC). Despite being outdated it has quite a few timeless ideas.
