This full length study examines the IRA in depth, tracing it's progression from the disarray in the early 1960s to a powerful political force of the late '80s. The authors - both journalists - examine objectives and structure and analyse the leaders, aided by interviews with the men who run the organisation and key figures in the Security Forces. They examine internment, the hunger strikes, the Mainland bombing campaign and the dual strategy of armalite and ballot box.

A revised edition of 'Falkland Islander's at War'. The islanders were the first British people to come under enemy occupation since the Channel Islands during the Second World War. This book tells how their warnings were ignored in London, how their slim defences gave way to a massive invasion, and how they survived occupation. While some established a cautiously pragmatic modus vivendi with the occupiers, some islanders opted for active resistance. Others joined advancing British troops, transporting ammunition and leading men to the battlefields.

Because of the secrecy surrounding it, 32-Battalion not only became one of the finest fighting units in the South African Army, it also became the most controversial.
