Also published as Northern Ireland in Crisis: Reporting the Ulster Troubles. New York: Holmes & Meier, 1975. 256 pp. This book resulted from his years as the Belfast reporter for The Guardian reporting on the conflicts between the British Government and those sympathetic with the Irish Republican Army (and others). He was present on January 31, 1972 during the infamous Bloody Sunday massacre (during which he found himself under fire) and the Widgery Tribunal set up in the aftermath which opened his eyes to “how the British Establishment works.” The book was “not a commercial success” but did allow him to “put things in a perspective” and “there was a greater degree of maturity about the book than the reporting.”
