Violent Politics
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-0-333-73085-0 (ISBN)
Violent politics in Northern Ireland has lasted thirty years and cost four thousand lives and billions of pounds. Many such conflicts afflict the world. This book describes the search for causes and solutions. It identifies the key factors driving violent politics and the range of counter-strategies. It analyzes the course of the troubles in Northern Ireland, and the results of the countermeasures used. The conclusions are disturbing. The recommendations are controversial, but difficult to escape.
BRIGADIER MICHAEL ADDISON worked in a variety of fields: military, diplomatic, medical and academic. As a soldier, he witnessed violent conflict in Northern Ireland, Borneo and Cyprus. Later, as a senior associate member of St. Anthony's College, Oxford, he sought to make sense of his military experiences. Violent Politics, the outcome of his research, was completed shortly before his death in September 2000.
