Politician, peacemaker, persuader: John Hume was a titan of Irish history - a tireless architect of the Good Friday Agreement who received the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in ending decades of conflict in Northern Ireland.
But who was the real John Hume? What motivated the former history teacher to reach beyond political lines? What sustained him during the bloodiest years of violence? How did he impel the IRA to end its long-running campaign? How did he convince presidents and prime ministers to take risks and back his vision for Northern Ireland? How should he be remembered?
In John Hume: The Persuader, Stephen Walker draws on over 100 interviews with family members, colleagues and critics across the political spectrum, as well as never-before-published interviews with Hume himself, to present a probing, balanced and immensely readable portrait of one of the most significant political figures in Northern Ireland and the world.
'The definitive biography of John Hume.' Freya McClements, Northern Editor, Irish Times
'This superb biography does full justice to a towering figure.' David McCullagh, RTÉ Broadcaster and Author
'A riveting portrait of a man who changed Ireland.' Gary Murphy, Professor of Politics (DCU) and Author
'Scrupulously fair, deeply researched and insightful.' Sam McBride, Northern Ireland Editor, Belfast Telegraph
