173pp., col. & b/w pls., maps, appends., bibliog., The three days of August 13th, 14th, and 15th drastically changed the course of Northern Irish history and also radicalised a generation of Catholic youths. On the Protestant side, there was similarly little to predict that their young generation would become embroiled in the longest period of Irish Troubles to date. The UVF, dormant since the creation of the state, was revived in 1966, but it was barely mentioned anywhere outside the Shankill Road; by 1972 it was involved in full conflict. Belfast ’69 provides interviews with individuals from both sides of the conflict, many of whom went on to join the various ‘armies’ that sprung up in the wake of the riots
