ANDREW WALSH lives in Gloucestershire with his wife and children, but he spent his formative years in Drogheda, in the Irish Republic. Growing up during the Troubles gave him a clear and unbiased understanding of how they developed, and how age-old beliefs of inferiority and supremacy have allowed them to continue for so long. Andrew holds a BA in History and has developed a lifelong passion in researching the conflicts in Northern Ireland. He is the author of 'From Hope to Hatred: Voices of the Falls Curfew' and has written extensively on many aspects of modern Irish history.
