The book inspired by the acclaimed television series.
Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick, two of the most respected writers on Irish affairs, have been granted unique access to the research undertaken for the television series 'Endgame In Ireland'.
This book, as in the controversial television series, tells more vividly than ever before the inside 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 aids, including former cabinet secretaries. They also include former leaders of both the IRA and loyalist terrorist groups.
Many hours of exhaustive interviews have produced more than a million words from key figures such as Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, John Major, Nobel Peace Prize winners John Hume and David Trimble, Martin McGuinness and Johnny Adair.
The award-wining authors bring to bear their years of experience of reporting on the conflict to relate this extraordinary account of the secret meetings and clandestine negotiations, as all the parties struggled to overcome centuries of distrust. This book is not only a new portrayal of people and events, but it also makes an important contribution to our understanding of Irish history.
