The Rest Is History
553. The Last Viking: Warrior of the New Rome (Part 2)
And we're here to tell you about our recent miniseries that we've just done on The Troubles.
The Rest Is History
553. The Last Viking: Warrior of the New Rome (Part 2)
It's something that we both lived through and remember from our childhoods, but younger listeners may not know anything about it. And it's the time when there was division along religious and political lines. Neighbours turned against each other. Residential city streets became battlegrounds. Thousands were killed and the IRA bombed London.
The Rest Is History
553. The Last Viking: Warrior of the New Rome (Part 2)
But the memory of the Troubles is still present, not only within Northern Irish communities who experienced it, but in international relations and political approaches to peace. And new audiences are starting to understand this national trauma through films like Belfast and kneecap and TV shows like Derry Girls.
The Rest Is History
553. The Last Viking: Warrior of the New Rome (Part 2)
It's one of my favourite books. It's, I think, the kind of in-cold blood for our generation, extraordinary work of non-fiction. And if you'd like to hear more about this very recent conflict that put Northern Ireland on the global stage and hear from Patrick Radden Keefe, we've left a clip of the miniseries at the end of this episode.
