The Troubles: Northern Ireland, 1968-1998 by Michael Brillman

Professor Michael Brillman will discuss the modernization of the Irish Republican Army and the subsequent Unionist paramilitary responses. A third portion will focus on responses to terror by the British state, namely the internment of IRA prisoners. The talk will end with the 1998 Good Friday Agreements and open the floor up for questions and a discussion of whether or not the Irish peace can last.
