Theauthor provides a detailed analysis of the leading protagonists andthe key political issues which is thoroughly researched, incisiveand thought-provoking. For anyone interested in learning more aboutwhy the peace process has stuttered so badly in recent years, thisbook is a must read."

"Jonathan Tonge's knowledge of Northern Ireland is prodigiousand his research is painstaking, sharp and detached. He has an eyefor the telling comment. This book displays all these qualities.Not only does it audit the status of the peace process but itoffers an agenda for moving politics forward. This is a must readfor politicians and policy-makers as well as students."
