Editorial Review

Product Description

The decommissioning of the Provisional IRA in 2005 suggests that Northern Ireland may finally be ready to turn from the deadly paramilitary clashes of the twentieth century to the thorny problems of a normalized political process. As both former head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service and Victim’s Commissioner, Sir Kenneth Bloomfield is in a unique position to evaluate the wisdom and long-term effects of the past fifty years of Northern Irish politics and policy.
Bloomfield probes a number of crucial questions about the United Kingdom’s management of Irish affairs. Three decades of fighting have had grave consequences for Northern Ireland—what were the costs? Was violence inevitable? Bloomfield delineates the unwise decisions and abrogated responsibilities that led to the civil crisis of the Troubles while emphasizing the United Kingdom’s overriding duty to ensure peace. Peppered with incisive—and critical—portraits of the major political players, including Tony Blair and John Hume, A Tragedy of Errors gives us an unflinching insider’s view of Northern Irish politics and helps us understand the divisions that still dominate the region.

3-0 out of 5 stars Very informative, but not an easy read
Kenneth Bloomfield was directly involved in the government of Northern Ireland for decades, rising to be the highest-ranking career civil servant in the province.He wrote many of the speeches given by Northern Ireland ministers, and participated in many meetings involving British, Northern Irish, and Republic of Ireland officials.Though he did not have a high political profile, he was very much an insider with access to privileged information.He drew on that long experience in writing this book, which is rich both in facts and in the author's often blunt personal opinions about the way things were done.His book focuses on politics rather than on violence.

Bloomfield's principal target for criticism is the government of the United Kingdom.While he praises some British ministers and officials for doing their work well, he repeatedly points to examples of inconsistent and inattentive behavior by others, citing examples of poorly informed decisions.

Though English by parentage, Bloomfield shows considerable sympathy for many Unionists (those who wish strongly to keep the province in the United Kingdom).He gives particular praise to former provincial prime minister Brian Faulkner, who he believes did not receive the support from London that he needed to make the power-sharing executive work.He seems hurt that the British Government has not treated Northern Ireland's Unionists better."It is possible," he writes, "as a resident of Northern Ireland hitherto always glad and proud to be a citizen of the United Kingdom, to feel at times like a party to a marriage whose partner no longer feels or shows any real affection, but who maintains an increasingly cool relationship out of a sense of loyalty."

Bloomfield recognizes the ability of John Hume, long the leader of the Social Democratic and Labor Party that favored peaceful union with the Republic of Ireland.In his view, Hume was the most important driving force in the positions taken by the Irish republic in discussions about the future of the province.Yet Bloomfield clearly was uneasy about Hume's intentions.

Bloomfield is harsher in dealing with Sinn Fein leaders, particularly Gerry Adams.While recognizing their ability, he returns several times to the connections between Sinn Fein and Irish republican paramilitaries who committed gruesome acts.He condemns both the IRA and loyalist paramilitary groups for their violence and thuggery.

At the time this book was written, political polarization within Northern Ireland had worsened, as symbolized by the success of Sinn Fein on the republican side and Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist party on the unionist side.Faced with this polarization, Bloomfield concludes on a despairing note, foreseeing little hope for successful power-sharing.

The many insights Bloomfield has to offer could be valuable to serious students of Northern Ireland politics and government.Unfortunately, the author did not organize the book chronologically.As a result, he frequently backtracks with phrases like "as I said earlier."His organizational scheme results in many duplications that could have been avoided by strict adherence to a chronology.His last chapter, which might have drawn together these many threads, is marred by expressions of personal pique.This is unfortunate, as Bloomfield might have given us new ways of looking at this difficult problem, though one that might not appeal to strong supporters of a United Ireland. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
This is intended to be an unbiased account of the legislative and constitutional initiatives of the British government concerning Northern Ireland over the last 20 years. Each chapter covers four policy areas - constitutional, security, economic and social - to reflect government's belief in a multidimensional approach. Successive governments have argued that a policy focusing on only one strand is inadequate and that a multidimensional approach is required. Also, much of the existing literature is focused on only one of the four areas mentioned and this book, therefore, is intended to redress the balance by offering an overview which incorporates these four different policy areas. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description

On a damp night in February 2003, as the United States prepared to invade Iraq, five Catholic Worker activists scrambled across runways and broke into a hangar at Shannon Airport. Swinging hammers and a pickaxe, they did more than $2.5 million damage to a US Navy transport plane. The five were hit with the full weight of the law and were quickly condemned by the media and much of the antiwar movement. But, three-and-a-half years later, a Dublin jury decided they were innocent of any crime.

Harry Browne is a journalism lecturer at the Dublin Institute of Technology.
