have recently read marty mcgartlands book "dead men walking" should be called dead men reading as it will kill ya with boredom. though ten thirty three about brian nelson was quite intresting,havnt read mad dogs new book yet, any one have any recomendations?
I notice this thread is in the 'Northern Ireland' section... Are you looking for recommendations on books specifically about the North?
yes
I thought Bruce's books on loyalism were fairly good. They're academic but that's what I was looking for at the time I guess given I was writing essays on such matters!

I think you'd like it.
id like a book of his, if it was a true biography, where he tells of his involvment and real feelings, but i think he would skirt around the intresting bits
Get "Armed Struggle: The History of the IRA" by Richard English. Prof. Paul Bew's latest book Ireland: The Politics of Enmity 1789-2006 is supposed to be good. Haven't read it yet. Roy Foster is considered to be a good read by many...
"The thing that always annoyed me about traditional Irish historiography was the paradox of its Anglocentrism. People are now prepared, I think, to confront the possibility that many Irish problems are, in a sense, indigenous to the Irish situation." Roy Foster (1989).
