DEATH IN DERRY: MARTIN MCGUINNESS AND THE DERRY IRA’S WAR AGAINST THE BRITISH.

The article reviews Jonathan Trigg's book, *Death in Derry*, which provides a detailed account of the Provisional IRA’s campaign during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, particularly focusing on the Derry Brigade. The narrative chronicles the evolution of the conflict from the civil rights unrest of the 1960s through to the peace process in the mid-1990s, highlighting key figures such as Martin McGuinness, a former IRA commander and political leader in Sinn Féin. While the book is well-researched and includes personal testimonies from various participants in the conflict, it faces criticism for its perceived bias towards the UK Government's perspective and its limited coverage of significant events like the Bloody Sunday massacre. Overall, *Death in Derry* is described as a provocative and insightful examination of the complexities of insurgency and counter-insurgency warfare in Northern Ireland. [Extracted from the article]
