Descripción
Sumario:This book is an attempt to examine and explain one of the world's most notorious terrorist groups -- the Irish Republican Army (IRA) -- and its modern incarnation, the Provisional IRA (PIRA). It sets out from the premise that to understand any terrorist group one must first understand that group's history, political philosophy, and social, cultural, economic, and political environment and circumstances. In particular, this analysis emphasizes three key areas for understanding the IRA: classical social theory, the political theory of nationalism, and the political philosophy of Romanticism in opposition to the Enlightenment.
