New to the sub but I’ve always been a fan of history. Can anyone recommend a good book on The Northern Ireland Conflict (AKA the troubles)?

Hey there, welcome to the sub!

I really liked Making Sense of the Troubles by David McVea. It's quite balanced overall, and does an excellent job of explaining the conflict.

I haven't read it (but a relative who doesn't read much otherwise really enjoyed it) Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe
