The Paramilitary Mind

James K. Galbraith

A chapter in Unbearable Cost, 2006, pp 76-78 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1976 at the height of the Irish troubles I called on Conor Cruise O’Brien, then serving as Minister of Posts in the Irish Republic; his offices were in the Dublin Post Office of 1916 fame. I was on my way to Belfast, for no very good reason. In our brief meeting, O’Brien reflected bleakly on the fragility of peace efforts. It was so easy, he said, to bomb the negotiating table.
