Though the Night Is Gone

Robert Hugh Goldsmith

In September 2001 a group of Protestants attacked Catholic schoolgirls from the nationalist Arodyne area of North Belfast as they walked to Holy Cross primary school. It was the beginning of a twelve-week protest that put Northern Ireland once again under the international spotlight. As the police and the media looked on, the girls and their parents were subjected to sectarian abuse, and pelted with stones, urine, and even a bomb. In this electrifying book, acclaimed journalist Anne Cadwallader goes beyond the headlines to discover the truth about Holy Cross. By interviewing all the interested parties - parents and children, teachers, and clergy, loyalists and Republicans, police and politicians - Cadwallader pieces together the story of how and why a small stretch of road to a local school became the focal point for worldwide attention, spreading ripples as far away as South Africa and the southern states of America. This is the definitive account of one of the most inflammatory and sensitive issues to emerge since the announcement of the republican and loyalist cease-fires, lifting the lid on the sectarian tensions that continue to plague Northern Ireland. --- from book's back cover
