Endgame in Ireland by Eamonn Mallie
Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick have been granted access to the research undertaken for the television series "Endgame in Ireland". This text tells the story of the Irish peace process from 1981, through the words of the key people involved - many of whom have never talked "on the record". Those interviewed include both British and Irish Prime Ministers and their most senior aides, including former cabinet secretaries. They also include former leaders of both the IRA and the loyalist terrorist groups. The authors bring to bear their years of experience of reporting on the conflict to relate this account of secret meetings and clandestine negotiations, as all parties struggled to overcome centuries of distrust. This text is not only a portrayal of people and events, but also makes an important contribution to our understanding of Irish histoy.
'You feel as if you're eavesdropping on history as it's being made - wholly absorbing' - Irish Independent; 'Intelligent, gripping..chock full of anecdotal, human detail and insights into the operations of power, it's utterly fascinating' - Time Out; 'The most intimate examination yet of the extraordinary tortuous quest for peace in Northern Ireland' - Daily Telegraph; '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
Both Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick are experienced and respected journalists and authors, who have experienced the impact of the conflict first hand.
