Northern Ireland Politics Reviews

'It is clearly written and contains the right balance between providing facts and giving interpretation. The first three chapters covering the history from 1921 to 1995 are to be particularly commended. There are also good contributions on gender, demography and questions of law and order....this remains the best introductory book on the subject that I have come across.'
British History

'...the book is intended to offer an up-to-date account mainly for the benefit of students and lecturers. It is the first book of its type and admirably fulfils the intended purpose.'
Political Studies 1997
