The price of peace

by Cahal B. Daly

During the political and social upheaval of the Troubles, Cahal Daly, now Primate of All Ireland, was bishop of the Ulster diocese of Down and Connor from 1982 to 1990. The Price of Peace explores many of the dramatic events in Northern Ireland in those years and covers a wide range of issues from paramilitary violence and urban deprivation to the Anglo-Irish Agreement and the case of the Birmingham Six. The moral and religious themes that emerge in this major work focus on the responsibility of all--government, political parties, security forces and republican and loyalist groups--to face the challenge of ending the tragic conflict in Northern Ireland. Cahal Daly's outstanding reputation as a man of vision and courage will be further affirmed by this thought-provoking new book.
