Born in the late 70s in the midwest of the states “The Troubles” were not something in my sphere of Influence. Can you give me a quick recap, how it started, how bad it got, and how it was resolved? What was the day to day impact on “normal” British citizens?

Is there any suggestions for documentaries or books on the subjects?

It seems even when I visited the war museum in London it was all focused on the famous wars, and no mention (or very little) of the Troubles.
