OverviewThe IRA's ability to exploit the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland was central to the organisation's capacity to wage its 'Long War' over a quarter of a century. This book is the first to look at the role of the border in sustaining the Provisionals and its central role in Anglo-Irish relations throughout the Troubles. Full Product DetailsAuthor: H.

Haughey and Border Security Conclusion: 'Buying Themselves into Having a Political Say'ReviewsMany important aspects of the Northern Ireland conflict, particularly its military dimensions, remain seriously - and curiously - understudied. As the memories of the violent turmoil recede into the past, it is easy for crucial facets of the conflict to be ignored and forgotten. Based on much original primary and archival material, Henry Patterson's dispassionate, comprehensive and incisive study of the always tense, often murderous, condition of the Border in Anglo-Irish relations during the Troubles represents a remarkable and compelling exercise in historical recovery.
