Operation Banner by Nick Van Der Bijl
The British Army in Northern Ireland 1969–2007
A concise history of the British Army’s prolonged deployment in Northern Ireland (1969–2007), analyzing military operations, counter‑insurgency tactics and the political and social backdrop of the Troubles. It chronicles key incidents and controversies—internment, Bloody Sunday, intelligence work and clashes with paramilitaries—while assessing the impact on soldiers, police and civilians and the army’s shifting role in security, public order and the peace process. Drawing on operational detail, official records and firsthand testimony, the narrative evaluates lessons learned and the factors that led to the eventual drawdown.
