The book explores the politics of the most important Irish
nationalist leader of his generation, and one of the most
influential figures of twentieth-century Ireland: the Nobel Peace
Prize winner, John Hume. Given his central role in the
reformulation of Irish nationalist ideology, and the vital part
which he played in drawing violent republicanism into democratic
politics, the book shows Hume to be one of the chief architects of
the Northern Ireland peace process, and a key figure in the making
of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. At the same time, it considers
Hume's failure in what he stated to be his foremost political
objective: the conciliation of the two communities in Northern
Ireland. The book is essential reading for specialists on Irish
history and politics, but will also be of interest to academics and
practitioners working in other regions of political and ethnic
conflict. In addition, it will appeal to readers seeking to
understand the crucial role played by Hume modernising Irish
nationalist thinking, and bringing peace to Northern Ireland. -- .
