Abstract
Over twelve years have passed since the Autumn of 1968, when the gathering momentum of the campaign for civil rights in Northern Ireland forced the re-opening of the unanswered questions and unfinished business of Anglo-Irish relations, on reluctant governments in Dublin, London, and Belfast. The activities of the Civil Rights Movements – especially the march in Derry on October 5, 1968 – and the reactions to them of the Stormont Government, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and groups of protestant ultras, conventionally provide the turning point after which the intractable realities of Northern Ireland's problems showed themselves afresh. A protracted and murderous war of attrition, which continues to this day, was the result.
