Eamonn McCann’s account of what it is like to grow up a Catholic in a Northern Irish ghetto - first published in 1974 - quickly became a classic account of the feelings generated by British rule. The author was at the center of events in Derry which first brought Northern Ireland to world attention. He witnessed the gradual transformation of the civil rights movement from a mild campaign for “British Democracy” to an all-out military assault on the British state. This book describes the people involved in the war and gives an account of the springs of the "Catholic" opposition.

This is an amazing book. The author’s presentation style is so similar to classical histories and Roman rhetoric, that although it may appear to be a brief history on the subject of the troubles, it is not so simple. This book simultaneously presents Irish republicanism and eventually Marxist ideologies not in a vacuum of national case study, but in a western context. This narrative presented is something that can be applied universally to western histories and internationally to the struggles between revolution and empire. Although, I can’t agree whole heartedly to some of the politics if they were applied to my country or society (as it differs from that of Ireland’s north) the author clearly makes his case for the actions known to take place on multiple side of the conflict in Ireland’s north. This man is a true rhetorician in the classical sense and has been done by the Irish monks of old, he preserves western ideals outside of the pro-imperial mindset.

His dark materials is to Dante's divine comedy as the book of dust is to Bunyan's pilgrims progress.
