good news.

BOOK: FOUND.

Two cities, two dozen Chapters and two libraries later, we have gotten our hands on a copy of the Butter Battle Book.

Thank goodness.

Now, having read the book, it is much easier to note all the ways in which in can be compared to the conflicts in Northern Ireland. The book of course was written as a mockery of the Cold War and the arms race involved.

Although weaponery did not play a significant role in Ireland, the idea of trying to be the more powerful party, certainly was.

Oh yeah, we have selected the Conflict in Northern Ireland as our comparision to the butter battle.

We can now focus in on a thesis. Our essay is finally in sight.
