A Secret History of the IRA
For decades, the British and Irish had 'got used to' a situation without parallel in Europe: a cold, ferocious, persistent campaign of bombing and terror of extraordinary duration and inventiveness. At the heart of that campaign lies one man: Gerry Adams. From the outbreak of the troubles to the present day, he has been an immensely influential figure. The most compelling question about the IRA is: how did a man who condoned atrocities that resulted in huge numbers of civilian deaths also become the guiding light behind the peace process? Moloney's book is now updated to encompass the anxious and uneasy peace that has prevailed to 2007.

A Família vai bem, Obrigado!
O título deste livro não se refere ao cumprimento social que as pessoas expressam quando se encontram no cotidiano. Trata da situação vivida por uma mulher que viu seu filho morrer em seus braços. Aflita, imediatamente saiu em busca de socorro. Seu marido ao vê-la sair apressadamente indagou-se se tudo estava bem. Ela respondeu que sim, mesmo com o filho morto. Ao vê-la sair de casa, vizinhos fizeram também a mesma pergunta e ela respondeu da mesma forma. Ao chegar ao local pretendido, quem a recebeu igualmente lhe perguntou se tudo estava bem e ela tornou a confirmar.

The Provisional Irish Republican Army and the Morality of Terrorism
At the centre of the conflict were the then-unconventional tactics employed by the IRA, including sectarian killings, political assassinations, and bombings, which devastated urban centres - tactics that have become increasingly commonplace in the post-9/11 world. This book is a philosophical examination of the morality of the IRA's violent campaign, and of the British government's attempts to end it.
Big Boys' Rules
The SAS describes its attitude to the use of lethal force as 'Big boys' games, big boys' rules'. Anyone caught with a gun or bomb can expect to be shot. In Big Boys' Rules: The SAS and the Secret Struggle Against the IRA Mark Urban meticulously explores the security forces' covert operations in Northern Ireland: from the mid-1970s, when they were stepped up, to the Loughall ambush in 1987, in which eight IRA Provisionals were killed. While charting the successes and failures of special operations during the troubles, Urban reveals the unenviable dilemmas faced by intelligence chiefs engaged in a daily struggle against one of the world's most sophisticated terrorist organisations. 'This is a book that needed to be written and which fulfils the essentials of any Ulster story; it expands understanding beyond fragmented jingoism and newspaper headlines.'
