Provos by Peter Taylor
The IRA and Sinn Féin
A clear, tightly written history that traces the rise, organization and operations of the Provisional IRA—from its roots in the late 1960s and the early campaigns of the Troubles through internecine debates, hunger strikes and high-profile attacks—while explaining how its military methods and political strategy became intertwined with Sinn Féin and responded to British security policy; based on interviews, reportage and documentary evidence, the account explores leadership, internal tensions, tactics, and the movement’s gradual shift toward electoral politics and ceasefire negotiations.
