Endgame in Ireland - David Mckittrick

Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick have been granted unique access to the research undertaken for the TV series ENDGAME IN IRELAND. As controversial as the television series this book tells, more vividly than ever before, the inside story of the peace process from 1981 through the words of the key people invloved - many of whom have never talked 'on the record'.

It is an extraordinary story of secret meeings and clandestine negotiations as all parties struggled to overcome centuries of distrust. As well as the material from the series, the authors have included extra material so that the book is illuminated by their insight gained through their long experience reporting to on the conflict.

This book is not only a new portrayal of people and events, but an important addition to our understanding of Irish history.

Both Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick are experienced and respected journalists and authors, who have experienced the impact of the conflict first hand.

Mallie and McKittrick had unprecededted access to the key players...ENDGAME IN IRELAND is the best book on the subject since,well, since their last one THE FIGHT FOR PEACE.
