S2 Book Club: Making Sense of The Troubles
Show Notes

Hey everyone, quite a big topic to cover this time but I hope that this was a good introduction to one of the world's most infamous conflicts.

As usual, these kinds of conflicts really make us reflect on the situation here at home, which isn't always super positive. However, this is a good reminder that even when a conflict seems like it will never end, peace will be the result at some point.
