The Centre Cannot Hold (Collins 1984) British Army in Northern Ireland IRA Book

Description: The Centre Cannot Hold (Collins 1984) Britain's Failure in Northern Ireland. Large format paperback. 190 pages illustrated.Blank front page removed, but otherwise very good. Foreword by Seán MacBride Publisher's description: Described by an editorial critic as "an excellent book, full of insights," The Centre Cannot Hold is "a work which, having recounted the tragedy, manages to conclude on a theme not of despair but of hope, and faith in the future." Dick Roche of the Irish Independent says Centre is "a courageous, contentious, uncompromising book-essential for an understanding of the six-county problem...".. Jack Hassard, a Dungannon Protestant and a NI labour leader who resigned as member of the NI Police Authority because of the refusal of the Authority to press for an investigation of police ill-treatment and torture, says: "The Centre Cannot Hold is the best and most accurate account I have read of the sensitive years-and I have read them all. Tom Collinsversion of the conflict is completely fair and well-balanced. It was a revelation to me and will prove so to all its readers..." Andy Tyrie, Chairman of the Ulster Defence Association, says:"Centre is the best book I have ever seen on the NI conflict. It will sell, and Ulster Protestants will buy it. But it is not our book. The Protestant Ulsterman's relationship to Britain is different-it is one of love/hate. "This is the book to point up the failures of the British government. But it is written from a nationalist viewpoint. I would love to see this same man do a book from the Ulster Protestant point of view..." ISBN 0 946968 00 4
