What is O'Brien Pocket History of the IRA: From 1916 Onwards (Pocket History series) about?

"This book traces the origins and development of the Irish Republican Army from its roots in 1916 to the present day. The IRA's high point was the period to 1921 when it became the 'legitimate' army of the self-proclaimed Irish Republic. Using Michael Collins's new-found guerrilla tactics, it forced the British government to the negotiating table, but failed to win the Republic. Then came decades of splits and failures, regrouping in the 1970s, re-equipping in the 1980s, Libyan arms deals, the SAS retaliation, emerging unbeaten in the 1990s, the dramatic ceasefire of 1994 and its collapse in 1996, the Adams-McGuinness political leadership, peace talks, Northern Ireland Executive and the roles of the IRA and Sinn Fein in the twenty-first century.
