About this book

This is the first published study of the political negotiations in Ireland in 1992. Based on interviews with many of the participants and on unprecedented access to the confidential talks documents, it documents in lively and readable fashion the important events in this early but crucial stage of the Irish peace process, highlighting the significance of these early talks as a vital precursor to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. It will appeal to analysts, academics, politicians, students, and more broadly to all those interest in Irish political affairs.

Reviews

'...this book gives a definitive account of the talks' progress, and will no doubt become an important source for future historians of the peace process.' - Christopher Reeves, University of Wales, Aberystwyth
