It investigates the complex experiences of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish soldiers alike during the often-controversial Operation Banner 1969-2007. The experiences of these soldiers raise many important and difficultquestions on war and policy. When do 'troubles', riots and insurgency become war? How does a liberal state respond to an internal war within its own borders?How does it decide on its rules of engagement for its armed forces? Featuring key interviews with former soldiers, paramilitaries and Special Branch detectives, amongst other key actors, the authors attempt to answer these questions and enhance our knowledge of conflict resolution by providing adeep analysis of one of the most significant British military operations since the Second World War. | Times of Troubles by Andrew Sanders, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
