For instance, even if no one is injured in a firebombing of a house (as happens to Cal and his father later on in the book), the psychological damage is still massive. This is shown in the book by Shamie, because before the bombing, he came across as a very strong willed and stubborn man. But later in the book, it is clear to the readers that Shamie's spirit has been utterly broken, as he sits in a chair, weeping for the loss of the house. This hurts Cal a lot, to see a man such as his father, shaking and weeping, completely sapped of their will.
Also, terrorism plays a main theme throughout the book, and it focuses on Skeffington, the I.R.A. leader for the area that Cal lives in. Along with Crilly, one of Cal's school friends who has more brawn than brain, Cal follows quite a few orders from Skeffington for various jobs, including the murder of Robert Morton, which of course plays a key role throughout the book. However, it is apparent that Cal wants to leave the I.R.A. and this is partly because of his weak stomach for blood (maybe due to the fact that his father works in the abattoir) and partly because he has a very strong conscience. Another thing that contributes to the feeling of unrest is the British army presence. They position themselves at main points and search oncoming cars and vehicles. This teaches us that security in Northern Ireland is very tight, and the British army take no chances, even if it means serious violence.
All through the book, there is a sense of inevitability in several issues. Because Cal and his father live on a Protestant estate, it is inevitable that either one or both of them is going to get hurt eventually. The first victim however is Cal. Simply walking home one night, three Protestant boys, all about his age, beat him up. He manages to escape with no major injuries, but in the book he thinks himself lucky that they weren't carrying any weapons.
