Summary

"Spanning thirty years of sectarian strife, from 1964 to 1994, Only Wounded captures the hopes and despairs of everyday life on both sides, tracing an intricate path through the bitterly divided counties of Ulster. Here are the Troubles as seen by Catholics and Protestants, soldiers and schoolteachers, Provos and peacemakers, bombers and brides, priests and ministers, spies and informers, surgeons and innocent bystanders ... all caught in an escalating cycle of rebellion and revenge, all praying for a more peaceful future for themselves and their loved ones."--Front flap of jacket
