Synopsis

David Trimble Reassessed...Through Ian Paisley's Reinvention . In the first edition of his book David Trimble: The Price of Peace , award winning journalist Frank Millar delivered a compelling profile and forensic interrogation in which a revelatory and self-critical Trimble explained how and why he gambled everything to help secure the Belfast Agreement. In this updated second edition Millar also examines Paisley's achievements in the subsequent St Andrews Agreement and explains how Trimble's story became a tale of two bitter adversaries who trod a strikingly similar path and would reach not dissimilar ends. Following Paisley's announcement of his May 2008 retirement date, Millar also sets out the challenges facing the emergent next generation of unionist leaders in Northern Ireland.

Media Reviews
'Brilliant, myth-shattering analysis... sets the scene for the new era post-Trimble and post-Paisley.' Lord (Paul) Bew, Queen's University. 'Recent events surely demand that Trimble's record be reappraised. Did Paisley fall because, like Trimble, he was perceived as having made too many concessions to Sinn Fein? Or if, in spite of the concessions, Paisley is to be lauded as an historic peacemaker does Trimble too not deserve the same praise? This book suggests the answers to these intriguing questions.' - Peter Smith QC, Patten Commission.
