The RUC 1922–2000: A Force Under Fire by Chris Ryder

A detailed examination of the Royal Ulster Constabulary across decades of political division, violence and profound change 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 explored the forces 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 journalist Chris Ryder, The RUC 1922–2000: A Force Under Fire traces the history of the Royal Ulster Constabulary from its formation in 1922 through the decades of political unrest and violence associated with The Troubles.

The book examines policing, security, intelligence and the position occupied by the RUC within a deeply divided society, placing the force within the wider political and historical circumstances of twentieth-century Northern Ireland.

A substantial read for those interested in Irish history, Northern Ireland, policing, political conflict and the institutions shaped by one of the most difficult periods in recent history.
