Product Description
‘A brilliant biography’ LORD GREY GOWRIE, Daily Telegraph
From humble beginnings in the terraced streets of Londonderry, John Hume emerged as the only true statesman of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Written independently but with Hume’s full cooperation, this biography charts his rise through the civil rights movements of the late 1960s and shows how his philosophy of non-violence became a guiding principle as he endured tragedy in the pursuit of his vision – a new Ireland, where both communities could live and work together in peace.
