Endgame In Ireland Hardcover – 18 Oct. 2001
Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick have been granted unique access to the research undertaken for the TV series ENDGAME IN IRELAND. As controversial as the television series this book tells, more vividly than ever before, the inside story of the peace process from 1981 through the words of the key people invloved - many of whom have never talked 'on the record'.
It is an extraordinary story of secret meeings and clandestine negotiations as all parties struggled to overcome centuries of distrust. As well as the material from the series, the authors have included extra material so that the book is illuminated by their insight gained through their long experience reporting to on the conflict.
This book is not only a new portrayal of people and events, but an important addition to our understanding of Irish history.

Review
In common with all the best history, ENDGAME IN IRELAND alternates anecdote with revelation...there will be no cause for pessimism about our television when documentaries of this quality are being made. (Guardian)
You feel like you're eavesdropping on history as it's being made - wholly absorbing. (Irish Independent)
The most intimate examination yet of the extraordinary tortuous quest for peace in Northern Irelend. (Daily Telegraph)
ENDGAME IN IRELAND is the product of a near-perfect journalistic collaboration...for close to a quarter of a century Mallie has been the North's highest profile and most trusted reporter, while McKittrick has been the most consistently reliable and clear analyst of the conflict. And the book is a very fine piece of journalism...Its triumph is bringing it all together into one narrative with a beginning, a middle and, well, a sort of an end. (Irish Times)
Probably the most exhaustive and accessible review of the Northern Ireland Peace Process...These two, probably the most consistently dependable interpreters of the nuances of a highly complex situation, have made good use of the material in a book that has all the ingredients of a thriller...(a) graphic and insightful account of the process. (Irish Independent)
Intelligent, gripping...chock full of anecdotal, human detail and insights into the operations of power, it's utterly fascinating. (Time Out)
I started reading Endgame in Ireland by David McKittrick and Eamon Mallie
at 11pm and at 3am realised that I should put it down and do my own work!
For anyone involved in Northern Ireland politics, this is a fascinating and
highly readable account of the peace process.
