It also draws admirably on wide reading beyond these sources, and it reaches some helpful judgements on this turbulent, short era … McDaid makes a major contribution to our precise grasp of the details of these years … It is a fascinating book, and a welcome addition to the shelves.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Richard English, Handa Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews (Irish Historical Studies, Nov. 2014). \u003cbr\u003e, Huddersfield Daily Examiner, 4 September 2013|'McDaid presents us with a more nuanced account of the events surrounding the failed executive … He shows how the basic principles of Sunningdale - consent, power-sharing and the Irish dimension formed the basis of the current peace process … [but] quite rightly rejects the ‘Sunningdale for slow learners’ adage because of the levels of violence that existed and because of the fact that the paramilitaries on both sides were excluded from Sunningdale.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Dr Martin McCleery, Queen’s University Belfast (Irish Political Studies, Feb. 2015).  |McDaid provides a comprehensive assessment of the position of several different parties in terms of political, social and economic policies through archival research.
