Peter Taylor wrote and reported on political violence, terrorism and security, especially the Northern Ireland conflict. His books include Provos, Loyalists and Brits, a connected set of studies examining the IRA, loyalist paramilitaries and the British state through interviews and long-term reporting. Later work also addresses Islamist terrorism and the changing security landscape after 11 September. Taylor's writing is journalistic, detailed and built around competing participants rather than a simple single-side narrative. Readers browsing the Troubles, terrorism studies, modern British and Irish politics, and documentary-style current-affairs nonfiction are the closest match. Read more Less
