Description for May the Lord in His Mercy be Kind to Belfast Hardcover. 8vo.The north of Ireland. Nice clean copy in dustwrapper
At last, after twenty years, Tony Parker - one of the world's most brilliant interviewers - has found his subject: Northern Ireland. He has interviewed a huge range of people - terrorists, police, the army, politicians, housewives, priests - and he has produced a devastating and deeply controversial book. As Father Brown says, the Irish 'never exploited you, or oppressed you. There's no single instance in history of us having invaded you: nor come to that of doing it to any other country in Europe, so far as I'm aware. But what have you done to us? Not only what we've never done to you, but much worse than you've ever had done to you by anyone else. Massacres, transportations, gaoling, starvation, driving us off our lands, dividing them up in parcels and giving them as presents and rewards to your ruling nobles and men at court. The history of the British in Ireland over hundred of years is beyond description it is, indeed it's almost beyond belief. It's an appalling story'.
