A State in Denial

A detailed and thought-provoking examination of collusion, intelligence operations, and political power during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they're beautiful or useful. Others are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and someone who was endlessly fascinated by political history, conflict, and the stories governments would often rather leave untold. This is one of those books.

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 on official documents, historical research and political analysis, it explores intelligence operations, covert activity, internment and the wider impact of the conflict on Northern Ireland.

Every book in Dad's collection has been individually photographed and honestly described, so you know exactly what you're buying. If you have an interest in Irish history, British politics, intelligence, or the complexities of the Troubles, this is a compelling and carefully researched read.

Arya's Approval
Right darlings… this is serious late-night reading with cups of tea, highlighted pages and somebody saying, "This goes deeper than people realise." Thoroughly researched, thought-provoking and definitely one to take your time with. I approve.
★★★★★ 5 PAWS, Arya, Chief Drama Officer & Historical Investigator
