Beginning in August 1971, the British Army's Operation Demetrius saw the arrest and imprisonment without trial of some 342 Northern Irish men, on suspicion of terrorist activity. These events would play a substantial role in shaping the conflict. This startling book draws back the curtain on the use of internment during the Troubles between 1971 and 1975. Drawing on archival sources, Martin McCleery offers a comprehensive account of internment and examines previously unexplored aspects of its use. The high politics and intelligence surrounding the practice are considered to establish that the quality of intelligence on both republican and loyalist paramilitaries was of a much better quality than previously thought. McCleery's account also traces the evolution of the Troubles outside of Belfast and Derry/Londonderry between 1970 and 1972. A detailed study of four towns -- Lurgan, Dungannon, Newry and Enniskillen - reveals that the development of the conflict across the whole of Northern Ireland was certainly more gradual and possibly less inevitable than has been previously identified. This is the definitive work on one of the most controversial episodes in the history of the Northern Ireland conflict.
