The best-selling first edition of The Long Road to Peace in Northern Ireland included essays from Senator George J. Mitchell, Sir David Goodall, Sir George Quigley, Lord Owen & Niall ODowd among others, & demonstrated the evolution of peace in Irel&, culminating in the Good Friday Agreement. Now Marianne Elliott, one of the worlds leading historians of Irel&, has updated the book & commissioned new essays to ensure that this vital resource for students, scholars, politicians & the interested general reader continues to illuminate the peace process through the words of some of its pivotal figures. The essays all relate to the nature of peacemaking as a process rather than an event signalled by the signing of an agreement.
