Synopsis

Writer and broadcaster Fionnuala O Connor charts Northern Ireland's path out of conflict, profiling leaders including Gerry Adams, David Trimble, John Hume and others, including the Reverend Ian Paisley, who've harried and comdemned the peace process . People in Northern Ireland watch their politicians with amazement and fury, and occasionally with affection and pride. O Connor portrays these men, and a few women, in the context of remarkable times, while the cartoonist Ian Knox catches those profiled as their acts and histories reveal them.

Media Reviews
'Fionnuala O Connor's brilliantly timed book explores the complexities of nationalist attitudes with great sensitivity and humour.' Irish Times 'Her questions and analysis are informed by a long career as a journalist and broadcaster... the result is a searching and compelling analysis of a diverse and changing community...' The Guardian 'Fionnuala O Connor's eye is so cool, her prose so readable and her batch of Catholic witnesses so well-chosen that the book flies by and imparts painlessly an enormous amount of information on the complex and varied Catholic attitudes to church, politics, violence, class, Protestant neighbours and Britain.' The Economist
