Herod: reflections on political violence

Trama

'A great book. In it, O'Brien not only denounces IRA terrorism, as you would expect from a mainstream politician, but - in a sense quite different from the rationalisations offered by ideological apologists for political violence - seeks to understand it. I mean, "really "understand it - not extenuate it by equivocation and non sequitur.
