User talk:Mal McKee/Irish Republican Army

sourcing

(responding to Denis here) Well, Coogan's history just arrived, but I actually was thinking more of professional literature in military, intelligence and insurgency/counterinsurgency. Somewhere on this computer is a copy, I believe, of some tactical manuals from some factions. There are comparative group analyses, such as "The Dynamic Terrorist Threat: An Assessment of Group Motivations and Capabilities in a Changing World", which uses the Real IRA as one of its case studies.

What would really help me is if you could start blocking out the historical periods. I suspect that while there might be very good material from some U.S. military research centers, there might be some divergence on the names of factions as used in Ireland. For some terminology, have you looked at insurgency and subarticles? Howard C. Berkowitz 22:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
