Abstract

Since the beginning of the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland, a number of British politicians have written their memoirs. From James Callaghan to Margaret Thatcher, they have tried to clarify and justify their role. This article examines those memoirs. It attempts to assess their accuracy and their contribution to our apprehension of developments in Northern Ireland as well as what they tell us about the attitudes of the politicians concerned. Those memoirs afford an fascinating perspective on the 'Troubles'.
