Taking you from the Irish Civil War, to the IRA campaigns of the 60s and 70s, to the creation of the power-sharing government of today – this is the essential history of Northern Ireland and The Troubles.
COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION
‘By far the clearest account of what happened in the Northern Ireland conflict and more importantly why it happened' Irish News
First published over two decades ago, Making Sense of the Troubles is widely regarded as the most comprehensive and accessible history of the Northern Irish Conflict. Written by award-winning journalist David McKittrick and historian David McVea, this authoritative account examines the roots of the conflict from the partition of Ireland in 1921, the descent into violence in the late 60s, and the three decades of conflict and political unrest that followed.
In this fully revised and updated edition, McKittrick and McVea assess the momentous developments of the decade following first publication, including the disbanding of the IRA, Ian Paisley’s historic deal with Sinn Féin, and the establishment of a devolved, power-sharing government at Stormont in Belfast.
Clear, compassionate and deeply informed, Making Sense of the Troubles is the definitive introduction to one of the most complex and consequential conflicts in Ireland’s history.
Praise for Making Sense of the Troubles:
'A frank, accurate and authoritative narrative of events which should be required reading for anyone hoping to understand what had been going on in the North' Irish Independent
'Comprehensive, considered and compassionate' Irish Times
'Extraordinarily well-balanced, sane, comprehensive and rich in sober understatement' Glasgow Herald
'I would strongly advocate that it be made compulsory reading for everyone in Northern Ireland because for the first time it is our history, all of it warts and all, presented in a clear and understandable way' Irish News

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
