Invaluable account of an extraordinary period in Irish history --Bertie Ahern
Product Description
This is a real-life political adventure with life-and-death consequences for an entire society. It is the story of the determined efforts of Tony Blair, Bertie Ahern, Bill Clinton, Gerry Adams and many others to persuade one of the most ruthless guerrilla organisations, the Irish Republican Army (IRA), to put aside guns and bombs after almost thirty years of warfare and make peace with their enemies. A detailed account of the build-up to the Good Friday agreement and its aftermath, it is a gripping story that reads like a diplomatic thriller. First published in 2001, this edition brings the story up to date, with previously unrevealed information on the peace talks, the historic power-sharing agreement of 2007 between Sinn Féin, political wing of the IRA, and Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party, and outlines the future prospects for peace in Ireland. This is the inside story by a journalist with unrivalled contacts who covered the peace process from the beginning, sat in on scores of political meetings and provides rare insights into the politics of the situation and the personalities of the main players.
