698. The Troubles: The Brink of Civil War (Part 2)
About this episode
Why did the violence of the Troubles escalate as it did in Ulster? How did a series of marches from Belfast to Derry in 1969 result in terrible violence, and heighten the conflict? And, which terrible events saw the British army cross the border to intervene?
Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss the next tumultuous stage of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
