The Border Campaign (December 12, 1956–February 26, 1962) was a campaign of guerrilla warfare (codenamed Operation Harvest) carried out by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) against targets in Northern Ireland, with the aim of overthrowing that state and creating a united Ireland. Popularly referred to as the Border Campaign, it was also referred to as the "Resistance Campaign" by some activists, as found in the IRA statement ending the Campaign in February 1962. Similarly, Sean Cronin, IRA Chief of Staff at various points during the campaign, titled his account of the 1956-57 period "Resistance - The story of the struggle in British-Occupied Ireland,"[2] under the pen-name Joe McGarrity. The campaign was a failed attempt to unite Ireland, but for some of its members, the campaign had kept the IRA engaged for another generation. http://www.youtube.com/user/nighthawk006
