Sommario/riassunto

Peace Without Consensus explores the contribution of the US, British and Irish governments to the electoral triumph of Sinn Féin and the Democratic Unionist Party in 2003. Profiled in the Guardian, the Observer, BBC Radio Four, the Irish Independent and Henry McDonald's 'Gunsmoke and Mirrors', the book offers salient lessons for regions embroiled in conflict and should be read by all those interested in Northern Ireland's peace process and US foreign policy.
