The conflict in Northern Ireland is rarely spoken about these days. But it was the British Army's longest ever continuous deployment running from 1969 to 2007. Over 700 soldiers were killed in action.

To talk about this important conflict, I am joined by author Jonathan Trigg, who served during "the troubles" himself. He explains why the army was deployed, who they were up against and gives an insight into what it was like to be on operations.

He has recently published a book about the IRA in East Tyrone. It can be purchased via this link. https://amzn.to/44TMLp9
