How did the British Government and Civil Service shape the Northern Ireland peace process? What kind of tensions and debates were being played out between the two governments and the various parties in Northern Ireland?

This book provides a compelling insight into what actually happened inside the negotiating room and how the British tried to shape the course of negotiations.
