Looking for some fresh perspective on the Troubles in the north of Ireland and also looking for some really good books on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Figured that many of you here would be able to offer some very helpful suggestions! Thanks so much! E |

15 Feb 06 - 10:28 PM (#1669898) Subject: RE: BS: Does anyone have any... From: Beer Presently reading "The Princes of Ireland" by Edward Rutherfurd. A Dublin Saga. Very interesting but a bit to slow for me. Author of "Sarum" which was an excellent book. |

16 Feb 06 - 11:02 AM (#1670041) Subject: RE: BS: Does anyone have any... From: mandotim Try 'The Faithful Tribe' by Ruth Dudley Edwards for an insight into Orangism in Northern Ireland. Anything by Robert Kee, Tim Pat Coogan or Conor Cruise O'Brien (as with everything in Northern Ireland, keep a critical eye open for inherent bias). To get any sort of perspective on NI, some history is important. Biogs of Collins, DeValera, Cromwell, Robert Emmett, Countess Markiewicz etc will help. Tim from Bit on the Side |
