Reviews

Reviews ‘A major contribution to the literature on the US role in the Northern Ireland conflict. Elegantly written and factually accurate, it provides valuable new insights into some of the key aspects of American presidential involvement in the "Troubles". With penetrating analysis and ground-breaking research from sources on both sides of the Atlantic, this is a compelling book that will appeal to both academics and general readers.'
Professor Andrew Wilson, Loyola University Chicago

‘The Long Peace Process succeeds in demonstrating that the U.S. government had substantial engagement with Northern Ireland from the beginning of the Troubles. Furthermore, it shows that this relationship was dynamic, complicated by contrasting personalities within the U.S. government, as well as scrutiny from the British and Irish governments.'
Melissa Baird, Irish Historical Studies
