While informative, this audiobook also carries emotional weight. Listening to the escalation of violence, the hunger strikes, and the bombings is gut-wrenching. But O’Hara doesn’t just dwell on the pain—he leads the listener through the difficult peace process and the fragile reconciliation efforts. I came away with a deep appreciation for the resilience of the people affected by the Troubles. Truly powerful storytelling.

Poignant and Powerful

A really good explanation of what went on. Only minor complaint, Narrator was very good and clear but sometimes a tiny bit boring. But great for the most part!
