Description

Jonathan Powell's masterful account of the Good Friday agreement offers a unique insight into one of the most significant achievements in British politics since the Second World War. As Tony Blair's chief of staff and chief negotiator, Powell provides a pithy and precise account of the talks that led to the historic deal.

Powell reveals how close the negotiations came to collapse and how the parties finally reached a deal, demonstrating the valuable lessons that can be learned from this process for those seeking to end conflict in other parts of the world. He also shows how making peace is often messy and blackly comic.

This insider's account provides a rare glimpse into politics at the highest level, offering a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in bringing about lasting change.
