Northern Ireland's '68: civil rights, global revolt and the origins of the Troubles (Revised edition.)

Drawing on a wealth of new sources and scholarship, Simon Prince offers a fresh and compelling interpretation of the civil rights movement of 1968 and the origins of the Troubles.

The authoritative narrative weaves together accounts of high politics and grassroots protests, mass movements and individuals, and international trends and historic divisions, to show how events in Northern Ireland and around the world were interlinked during 1968.
