The year of chaos came between of two major military operations  namely the introduction of internment of IRA suspects  without trial  and Operation Motorman  the invasion of barricaded no-go areas in Belfast and Derry. During this whole period  Malachi ODoherty was a cub reporter in Belfast  working in the city  covering the violence  returning home at night to a no-go area behind the barricades where the streets were patrolled by armed IRA men. ODoherty takes readers on a journey  at this time of crucial change  through the events of that terrible year  which he argues should be a reminder that political and military miscalculation can lead to civil war and that there is no more urgent need for creative political thinking than now  in the new instability created by demographic change  one hundred years after the partition of Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45794309668917,"sku":"ByrdShop_1838951229","price":267.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781838951221.jpg?v=1784828330","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-year-of-chaos-northern-ireland-on-the-brink-of-civil-war-197172-9781838951221","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
