The Troubles, so called: Britain's war in Ireland (EP3)
Manage episode 378212109 series 2936794
Whether it is Brexit or historical allegations, the colonial legacy of Northern Ireland haunts British politics. With a controversial bill on the war having just been approved in Parliament, Forces Watch found three unique voices whose lives and work have been profoundly shaped by the so-called Troubles.
What does the war in Ireland share with the so-called War on Terror? Award-winning national security journalist Ian Cobain's extensive work on British post-9/11 human rights abuses led him to look more deeply at the war in Ireland. His most recent book, 'Anatomy of a Killing', seeks to understand the war in the North through the prism of a single deadly attack.
Ian joined us to discuss his journalism, the relationship between the two conflicts and the prospects for accountability and peace in Ireland.
