Bandit Country by Toby Harnden
To the army, South Armagh is 'Bandit Country', 200 square miles of the most dangerous and hostile terrain in Northern Ireland which has claimed the lives of 115 soldiers since 1969. To republicans, it is 'God's Country', the only area in the six counties where the occupiers have successfully been resisted. Toby Harnden has interviewed members of the army, MI5 and the RUC as well as members of the IRA and prominent republican families to form a detailed and picture of the delicate balance of tensions in the area and explores how geographically and politically important South Armagh is to the present insecure cease-fire. Through taking one area of Northern Ireland, Toby Harnden throws the whole province into stark relief.
Toby Harnden is the Irish Correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. After leaving Oxford University, where he studied Modern History, he spent six years in the Royal Navy.
