Burnt Out
Autor Michael McCannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 ian 2019
Burnt Out: How the Troubles Began, shows how the truth became one of the first casualties of the horrific events of August 1969. It examines the prominent role of state forces and the unionist government in the violence that erupted in Derry and Belfast and assesses how and why the violence began and generated three decades of subsequent brutality. Against a mountain of contrary evidence, many still choose to blame the violence on the commemoration of the Easter Rising in 1966 and the efforts of the nationalist community to defend themselves on two hellish August nights in the late summer of 1969.
Burnt Out: How the Troubles Began, is essential reading for anybody interested in the outbreak and causes of 'the Troubles'.

Notă biografică
A native of West Belfast, Michael McCann experienced the events of August 1969 at first hand. He brings an intimate and unrivalled local knowledge to this study. Furthermore, McCann has personally gathered over thirty retrospective eyewitness interviews during his exhaustive research, which included the first and only in-depth analysis of the evidence gathered for the Scarman tribunal, augmented by hitherto undiscovered or occluded state and legal archives, copies of which are in the possession of the author. Michael holds a degree and Masters in History from Queen's University Belfast.
