Security Forces in Northern Ireland 196992 by Tim Ripley

Security Forces in Northern Ireland 196992 by Tim Ripley

The conflict in Northern Ireland was unlike any other campaign conducted by the British Army in the 20th century. There were no set-piece battles, no decisive victories or crushing defeats; just a grinding, relentless series of small scale operations in response to riots, bombings, sectarian murders and terrorist ambushes. Tim Ripley, a specialist in modern military affairs and research associate at Lancaster University's Centre for Defence and International Security Studies, profiles the operations, tactics, uniforms and equipment of the British and Irish Security Forces and the main terrorist groups involved in 'the Troubles' from 1969-92.

Tim Ripley is a freelance journalist specializing in modern military affairs and a research associate at Lancaster University's Centre for Defence and International Security Studies. He has written a number of books on military affairs, including Osprey's Desert Storm Special (1) Land Power, The Coalition and Iraqi Armies. He lives in Lancaster.

Mike Chappell retired in 1974, as RSM of the 1st Battalion The Wessex Regiment (Rifle Volunteers), after seeing service in Malaya, Cyprus, Swaziland, Libya, Germany, Ulster and home garrisons. He began painting military subjects in 1968 and has gained worldwide popularity as a military illustrator. Mike has written and illustrated many books for Osprey.
