Peacerunner is the must-read account of how ex-congressman Bruce
Morrison rose from crushing defeat to become a crucial figure in
the historic Irish Peace Process that ended centuries of warfare.
The world celebrated the end of the fighting in Ireland, but just a
handful know the full story of former congressman Bruce Morrison
and how critical he was in bringing peace--and none can bring it to
life better than author Penn Rhodeen. In Peacerunner, Rhodeen takes
us on the journey of Morrison, who worked with Irish Americans to
help elect Bill Clinton as the best hope for a new American policy
on the ancient conflict. He then devised the political strategy
that helped Clinton make that policy a reality. Despite having no
official position, Morrison traveled tirelessly to meet with
anyone--including those seen as terrorists--who could help end the
fighting. In Northern Ireland, he showed that the US could be the
honest broker for both sides--and blazed the trail on which Clinton
and George Mitchell helped political leaders forge the 1998 Good
Friday Agreement and a new beginning for a suffering land. This
fast-paced and insightful narrative brimming with unforgettable
characters--presidents and prime ministers, politicians of every
stripe, activists and guerrilla fighters--reaches far beyond
Ireland's bloody history to show that no conflict should be seen as
too intractable to solve. Peacerunner isn't just for those curious
about how peace came to Northern Ireland--it's a story for anyone
eager to know how the world can actually get better.
