Hi there /r/AskHistorians!
So very much like the title suggests, i'm looking for books that present an unbiased (as possible) view of the Troubles conflict in Northern Ireland.
I grew up in Northern Ireland and regardless of upbringing etc will naturally hold a bias towards one side or the other and wanted to develop a more rounded view of the conflict. I feel the best way is to read a few books on the subject because growing up there I have tried to avoid the topic completely to not get in conflict with others. If anyone could put me on the path to books covering the topic in an unbiased fashion I would be very keen to hear about them!
I'm not sure if it violates any subreddit rules as there is exact question here but if I have, mods feel free to let me know and I will delete this.
Unbiased literature on the Troubles is a bit tricky to find, but there are also a fair number of scholars that approach this topic with considerations to both sides. Making sense of the troubles : the story of the conflict in Northern Ireland by David McKittrick and David McVea is an excellent introduction to the topic that is accessible to non-specialists. Interpreting Northern Ireland by John Whyte is another text that is comprehensive and does a good job of contextualizing the Troubles with other developments in Northern Ireland. For digital sources, CAIN Web Service - Conflict and Politics in Northern Ireland has a comprehensive database and resource that includes timelines, weblinks, bibliographies, and other online materials about conflict in Northern Ireland.
