Simply put, this book is a feast for the intellect"-Thomas M. Wilson, American Anthropologist "One of the best books to have been written on Northern Ireland. . . . A highly imagination and significant book. Formations of Violence is an important addition to the literature on political violence."-David E. Schmitt, American Political Science Review |
