Zusatztext MacLeod has produced a compelling and provocative interpretation of the complex Anglo-Irish and trans-Atlantic diplomatic interactions during the early 1970s. His arguments draw on an impressive collection of recently-released primary sources from National Archives on both sides of the Atlantic, the personal papers of many of the key participants, and the collections of some prominent grassroots activists. The result is an important new book that should spark further research into the diplomatic history of Northern Ireland in this crucial period of the ‘Troubles’.
