With this book, he places some familiar questions about Ireland within a new context. He examines the laws that have governed Northern Ireland for twenty years and asks whether there is a pattern of anti-freedom legislation-He then answers the question with supporting evidence of what happens when these laws are applied. Rather than a dry academic exercise, this volume is full of human-interest stories of live, flesh-and-blood people. Lieberman is not Irish, and not Catholic or Protestant. He is, therefore, "above partisan fray" in the eyes of the Irish in Ireland and in this country. His work has already aroused considerable interest among the Irish community in this country. Written in a lively, readable style.
