Description

Peacemaker, politician, Nobel laureate: John Hume was a titan of Irish political history and a key architect of the Good Friday Agreement, bringing peace to Northern Ireland after decades of conflict.  But who was the real John Hume? What motivated the former history teacher to reach beyond political lines?

What sustained him during the bloody years of violence and how did he convince the IRA to end its long-running campaign?

How did he persuade presidents and prime ministers to take risks and back his vision for Northern Ireland?

How should John Hume be remembered? Stephen Walker combines over 100 interviews with many of Hume’s colleagues, critics and family members, with never-before-published interviews with Hume himself to present a comprehensive portrait of one of the most significant political figures in Northern Ireland and around the world.
