Guerrilla War

From Bomb to Ballot: The History of Sinn Féin

The Provisional IRA run a disciplined and efficient operation and prove capable of bringing bloody war to the British Army. A cat and mouse game on the streets of Belfast and Derry intensifies with each passing week, each side becoming further entrenched in a brutal cycle of violence that will define the 1970s. 

And, at a pub in Armagh, near the Irish border, a young British army officer called Robert Nairac disappears. He will never be seen again.
