Many important aspects of the Northern Ireland conflict, particularly its military dimensions, remain seriously and curiously understudied. As the memories of the violent turmoil recede into the past, it is easy for crucial facets of the conflict to be ignored and forgotten. Based on much original primary and archival material, Henry Patterson's dispassionate, comprehensive and incisive study of the always tense, often murderous, condition of the Border in Anglo-Irish relations during the Troubles represents a remarkable and compelling exercise in historical recovery. M.L.R. Smith, Department of War Studies, King's College, University of London, UK Through painstaking, detailed analysis Patterson provides an informed and insightful analysis of policing on the Irish border, a long neglected aspect of the Troubles. This book is essential reading for those interested in the Troubles, policing in times of conflict or border studies. It will continue to be relevant as cooperation between the two police forces grows. Vicky Conway, Kent Law School, University of Kent, UK

“Ireland’s Violent Frontier – The Border and Anglo-Irish Relations During The Troubles … has been thoroughly well-considered and assimilated by way of acute research/thorough analyses. … Thorough, comprehensive and very readable, Ireland’s Violent Frontier is a most worthy addition to the current spate of literature being written on what remains a most complex and inflammatory subject.” (David Marx, David Marx Book Reviews, davidmarxbookreviews.wordpress.com, November, 2016)
