The Impact of the Troubles on the Republic of Ireland, 1968-79 Boiling Volcano?

The first book to examine in detail the impact of the Northern Irish troubles on southern Irish society, this study vividly illustrates how life in the Irish Republic was affected by the conflict north of the border and how people responded to the events there. Focusing on debates at popular level rather than among elites, the book illustrates how the troubles divided southern opinion and produced long-lasting fissures.
