The I.R.A. - Tim Pat Coogan



Hoje veio no correio mais uma coisa para mim. Um livro, pena que já tenha começado a ler o que ontem aqui referi, ficando este em nº1 na lista de espera.

Vi esta critica na Amazon, e parece-me fiel:

this book is truly the standard reference on the IRA and thier history, it shows how the provisional IRA has changed from simple revolutionaries to highly trained ruthless terrorists who commited many attrocities while also fighting for catholic rights and ultimately realizing that they could not be beaten, but also could not win through violence alone. shows the political savy of sinn fein and the only semi-succesfull attempt by protestent paramilitaries to counter the ruthlessness of the IRA and INLA. tim pat coogen is one of the best authors on the subject of northern ireland. easily surpassess the somewhat biased and not very accurate account of the last twenty five years of the conflict by Bowyer Bell in his revised book IRA the secret army
