Rezensionen

"Thomas Hennessey's new book is the latest addition to scholarly works exploring the early to mid-1970s, a highly significant period in Northern Ireland's political history. A wealth of archival sources pertaining to these years is now available to researchers, and there is much within the documents to debate. ... The First Northern Ireland Peace Process provides a thought-provoking contribution to the literature on this period." (Shaun McDaid, American Historical Review, February, 2017)
