Summary

The Northern Ireland Peace Process 1993-1996: A Chronology records the developments of those hopeful years, charting intergovernmental talks, seemingly minor incidents whose significance became apparent only months later and dramatic political shifts and turns. Explanatory essays about the major turning points in the peace process are woven into a political diary which will become the authoritative book on the subject.
