Good Evening Ladies,

I am going to buck the trend and confess upfront that I have not finished the book. Might have been a bit ambitious trying to host book club a week before heading away.

Anyhow, questions for up to 52% (!)

Do you now understand 'The Troubles;. How would you explain it concisely to the uninformed?
What are your basic perceptions of the history of the troubles in NI.?

Non fiction can be a stifling and tedious read. How did you find the style of writing?

Were you shocked by the scale and extent of violence in such a small land mass

Were the tit-for-tat paramilitary actions childish & immature or a defiant act of revenge?

Discuss the validity internment. Would it be legal these days? As a policy to curb sectarianism, could it have succeeded if loyalists had been interned as well as nationalists.

Did you feel any bias from the authors?

Did Bloody Sunday in Derry shock. Does U2's song make more sense?

Anything worthy of discussion from the remaining 48%?

Hope to see you all tomorrow

That's all folks!!
