It remains one of the few successful conflict resolutions anywhere, inspiring subsequent peace processes all over the world. Today the Agreement takes on new relevance, as the full consequences of Brexit continue to be revealed and realised, and remains an indispensable bedrock of the Irish-British relationship. As the head of the Irish delegation at the Anglo-Irish Secretariat in Belfast, David Donoghue experienced first-hand the complex, delicate, often frustrating series of negotiations that drew the Troubles to an end. A fascinating, absorbing and thorough account of a generation-defining period of history, 'One Good Day' offers a personal perspective on the drama of the negotiations by someone who was at the centre of action."-- Provided by publisher.Item type | Current library | Class number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
