Great Hatred, Little Room - Making Peace in Northern Ireland

Informationen zum Autor After studying history at Oxford and the University of Pennsylvania, Jonathan Powell worked for the BBC and Granada TV before joining the Foreign Office in 1979. In 1994 Mr Blair, then Leader of the Opposition, poached him to join his `kitchen cabinet' as his Chief of Staff. When Labour achieved its landslide victory in 1997 Powell was at the heart of the Downing Street machine. He was the only senior member of staff to remain at Blair's side throughout his time at the top of British politics. He has always maintained a low profile and has never before told his story. Klappentext The definitive account of the Northern Ireland Peace Process, by one of the key players, Tony Blair's ex-Chief of Staff, Jonathan Powell. 'No-one else could provide such an insider's account, for he was the only one to be involved in the detail of every tortuous step' "Sunday Telegraph" Zusammenfassung Making peace in Northern Ireland was the greatest success of the Blair government, and one of the greatest achievements in British politics since the Second World War. This book demonstrates how the events in Northern Ireland have valuable lessons for those seeking to end conflict in other parts of the world.
