* International Social Science Review *The book makes a strong case for a greater consideration of spatial information in historical analysis—a message that is obviously appealing for geographers. But only when HGIS becomes more fully integrated into history and the humanities will the potential suggested by Troubled Geographies be fully realized.
* Journal of Interdisciplinary History *A book like this is useful as a reminder of the struggles and the sacrifices of generations of unrest and conflict, albeit that, on a global scale, the Irish troubles are just one of a myriad of disputes, each with their own history and localized geography. The book is excellent as an introduction; it is written in a fluent, engaging and factually-correct prose. The first eight chapters on Ireland's history are essential reading before any sense can be made of the contemporary religious conflicts. . .
