A State in Denial by Margaret Urwin

A detailed examination of alleged collusion, intelligence activity and state power during one of the most contested periods of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of history, politics and books that examined the forces operating behind major events. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Margaret Urwin, A State in Denial examines allegations of collusion between elements of the British state and loyalist paramilitary organisations during the 1970s and 1980s.

Drawing upon documentary material and historical research, the book considers intelligence activity, internment, covert operations and the relationship between state institutions and political violence within the wider context of the Troubles.

A substantial read for those interested in Irish history, Northern Ireland, intelligence operations, political conflict and the continuing debate surrounding state responsibility during the Troubles.
