Reviews

'Noel Dorr has done a great service to scholarship and to calm analysis of a critical period in Ireland's history. This book should be read by anyone who wishes to understand in particular the processes by which governments and their advisers deal with the great issues. Above all, it demonstrates the superior value of patient diplomacy over violence, bluster, bullying and confrontation. [...] It is a book for everyone, easy to follow and full of interesting information not otherwise available. Recommended'. -- Ian Doherty * Instead of Blood * 'Sunningdale- the Search for Peace in Northern Ireland by the eminent Irish diplomat Noel Dorr, is required reading for anybody who wants to know what led to Sunningdale; or anyone who wants to trace the development of Irish and indeed British policy on Northern Ireland'. -- Olivia O'Leary * Fiction, history, humour, emotion: The best books of 2017 * 'Dorr deserves our thanks for his comprehensive account of a doomed but, in the longer term, useful attempt to bring an end to a bitter conflict'. -- Deaglan de Breadun * Sunningdale: The Search for Peace in Northern Ireland, by Noel Dorr review - God help the peacemakers * 'Dorr is a reliable reporter who records the downside of the Hume hyperbole about the Council of Ireland'. -- Eoghan Harris * Sunningdale has hard lessons to teach Leo and Simon on North *
