This timely memoir by one of the most prominent Catholic
nationalist politicians in Northern Ireland is a primary source for
the social and political history of the province, from the onset of
the Troubles in the 1960s to the 1990s peace process and beyond.
Its authentic voice lends it a vitality and an urgency that
illuminates our recent past. In this book, Mallon describes his
happy upbringing in South Armagh as a Catholic in a 90% Protestant
village; his turbulent years as a constitutional politician in the
violent maelstrom of near-civil war, when he was the target of both
loyalist violence and republican vilification; and his central role
in the peace process as the man who complemented John Hume, doing
the 'spade-work' to reach a hard-won deal with the Ulster
Unionists. Now in his eighty-third year, he calls for a new
beginning in Northern Ireland, based on the ideal that it is a
shared home place for all its people, and that Irish unity can only
come about through unionist consent. His surprising and innovative
proposal, based on a little-known clause in the Good Friday
Agreement, shows how this might be implemented.
