{"product_id":"abandoning-historical-conflict-peter-shirlow-9780719087448","title":"Abandoning Historical Conflict?: Former Political Prisoners and Reconciliation in Northern Ireland","description":"Drawing on over 150 interviews with former IRA, INLA, UVF and UFF prisoners, this is a major analysis of why Northern Ireland has seen a transition from war to peace. Most accounts of the peace process are 'top-down', relying upon the views of political elites. This book, available for the first time in paperback, is 'bottom-up', analysing the voices of those who actually 'fought the war'. What made them fight, why did they stop and what are the lessons for other conflict zones? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on a Leverhulme Trust project and written by an expert team, the book offers a new analysis, based on subtle interplays of military, political, economic and personal changes and experiences. Combined, these allowed combatants to move from violence to peace whilst retaining core ideological beliefs and maintaining long-term constitutional visions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Shirlow, Jon Tonge, James McAuley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719087449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719087448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Peter Shirlow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190566056191,"sku":"9780719087448","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0d3970f-bdac-4dfc-9ad1-105dafb70aee.jpg?v=1690871227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abandoning-historical-conflict-peter-shirlow-9780719087448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
