'This controversial and exciting book assesses the true effectiveness of the IRA's armed struggle and reaches profoundly significant conclusions about the outcome of the IRA's entire campaign. Seduced neither by politics nor propaganda, Rogelio Alonso provides us with not only a brilliant analysis of the IRA, but sets a new benchmark for primary research on terrorism.' - Dr John Horgan, University of St Andrews
