The Northern Ireland Conflict

I bought this book after my trip to Northern Ireland because I still had some questions on the conflict and the book is said to be a "Beginners Guides." I have finished reading it and am even more confused then I was before. The book does not break down all the different groups, organizations or phases of the Troubles. It jumps all over the place which is not something you want when trying to understand a 40 + year conflict.

I am very interested in history and politics and have studied numerous wars and conflicts. I do know the basics of the Northern Ireland Troubles, but that is not because of this book. I will have to see if there is a "Northern Ireland Conflict for Dummies" book and if so will get it.
