�Personal Accounts from Northern Ireland's Troubles
Most people are unaware of the true consequences of the kind of violence that
Northern Ireland has experienced over the last thirty years. The language used
by the media in phrases such as collateral damage, and friendly fire, conspires
to sanitise and conceal the awful, gory and horrifying reality of the impact of
war on the lives of ordinary people.
Based on in-depth interviews and survey work conducted by the pioneering
The Cost of the Troubles Study, this collection represents the first in-depth
evidence of personal loss in Northern Ireland during the conflict. The events
described in this book are told from the perspectives of interviewees drawn
from varied backgrounds and who have a range of experiences of the conflict.
The heartbreaking and unbearable reality for all is that their loss is
irretrievable. No one can repair the damage: nothing can compensate.
At a time when violence is increasingly presented as entertainment,
gun-cultures proliferate and armed conflicts can escalate seemingly overnight,
this collection provides a necessary understanding of the cost of violence.
Uncomfortable, painful, shaming and heart-breaking as it may be to read
these accounts, the experiences contained in them, argue the editors, must
be known, acknowledged and available to a wider public. Only then can the
various truths about the past and the various burdens the past has produced
be more evenly distributed amongst us.
Marie Smyth is a Research Fellow attached to INCORE, the Initiative on
Conflict Resolution and Ethnicity, University of Ulster and the United Nations
University, and Project Director of The Cost of the Troubles Study.
Marie-There se Fay is the Research Officer with The Cost of the Troubles
Study in Belfast. They are both coauthors of Northern Ireland's Troubles
(Piuto Press 1998).
