Pretty good book to read on long-haul travels

I saw the Melvyn Bragg TV documentary on this subject advertised about 6 months ago and meant to watch it, but forgot about it, I may try and find it on you tube sometime.

I know the issue of the AV1611 is a very touchy subject for some and ignites the dislike and even hatred between Protestants and Catholics in some communities
