Hope and History: Making Peace in Ireland

The unique inside story of one of the most controversial public figures, Gerry Adams here reveals the truth behind the headlines of how the peace process was begun and how it was brought to fruition. Looking at covert talks between Republicans and the British government, the Irish-American role and meetings in the White House, the emergence of dissidents within the Republican movement, the breakdown of the first IRA cessation and the final negotiations, this is perhaps the single most important book yet to be published on the question of Northern Ireland.
