Pig in the Middle: The Army in Northern Ireland, 1969-1984 – Desmond Hamill

Description

“This book is very much from the British Army perspective (up until 1984!), but all the politics and the (in)famous characters are there, interwoven in the Army’s story. I think it would be very difficult to separate the story of the Army from that of Northern Ireland over the last 40 years.

Along with all the misery and distress of the fabric of society trying to pull itself apart, there are moments of absolute farce; the capture of six of Britain’s finest by the Irish police due to navigational issues in South Armagh.

A very informative book about events that still touch a raw nerve in UK society, at times hard to put down.”
