An important contribution to the historiography of inter-communal conflict Robert Gerwarth, Times Literary Supplement This fine study...advances our understanding of the nature of communal violence...What impresses most about this study is its forensic rigor, its attention to detail, and its balance. David R. C. Hudson, Journal of British Studies His set of questions constitutes a step forward in the methodology of writing the history of political and ethnic violence, and his research is excellent... the book is an important one. T. Hunt Tooley, English Historical Review this is a book which displays an immense knowledge of the region, and an admirable insistence that the people of the region - and thair conflicts - should be understood on their own terms, and in the context of their own history. Justn Willis, Africa a refreshingly bold and original take on Northern Ireland's troubled beginnings ... highly recommended. N. C. Fleming, 20th Century British History
