5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Only Dean Godson Could Have Done It., 1 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Only Dean Godson, the tough, savvy chief leader writer of the London Daily Telegraph, with his unparalleled contacts on all sides of the Northern Ireland divide, could have crafted this subtle, exceedingly penetrating portrait of the most unlikely of the Ulster peacemakers. Much superior to anything else now available on this crucial subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Political Biography of the Year, 25 Nov 2005
By A. H. Lee (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Himself Alone: David Trimble and the Ordeal Of Unionism (Paperback)
Dean Godson's book deserves to be read by anyone thinking of entering politics. Even if you do not have the slightest interest in Ulster you should consider reading it as a political parable for our time. It is a British political version of 'Citizen Kane'. Trimble comes across as a decent man that is led astray by a combination of cunning and temptation. In fact, Trimble was so obsessed, over a peroid of thirty years, with the cause of restoring devolved government to Northern Ireland that, in the end, he was willing to bargain with terrorists and in doing so lost his constituency of support.
