Northern Divisions: The Old IRA and the Belfast Pogroms, 1920-22

Jimmy McDermott and his brother Johnny were IRA officers in Belfast in the 1920s, but they went their separate ways when the IRA split over the Treaty. In this book, Jimmy McDermott's grandson presents a powerful chronicle of Belfast republicanism and the role of the 3rd Northern Division of the IRA around the time of partition, helping to explain strands of the conflict which are still with us today, such as policing, secretarianism and mistrust of political institutions.
