Overview

In this vivid picture of growing up Catholic in a Northern Irish ghetto, McCann relives the tumultuous early days of the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland, as peaceful protest - driven off the streets, developed into armed insurrection. He argues that the ideals that inspired the early movement continue to offer the only way out of the mess of politics in Northern Ireland today.
