Reviews

The BBC's 'Irish Troubles' is bull to the gunwales with gold-plated archival material, mostly unpublished until now. Robert J Savage has teased out and combined a number of narratives and timelines in a way that effortlessly clarifies some of the most complex events, as well as the twists and turns of public policy in relation to the BBC, during what was probably the most tumultuous period in the organisation's history., Prof John Horgan, Irish Times, 11 July 2015 -- .
