Description for No solution: The Labour government and the Northern Ireland conflict, 1974-79
Hardcover. No solution demonstrates the naivety of claims that a solution to the Northern Ireland conflict could have been imposed by the British state two decades before the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

BIC Classification: 1DBKN; 3JJPL; HBJD1; HBLW3; JPQB; JPWL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 164 x 242 x 28. Weight in Grams: 576.
