The book, available at last in paperback, 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 in modernising Irish
nationalist thinking, and bringing peace to Northern Ireland.
