"The book features four nationalist/republican political personalities, four unionist leaders and four British politicians, though one of the latter was not a constitutional politician the constitutional monarch. They were all people of their time who can be judged critically but only in the context of their time. As personalities of the time they are like the rest of us, flawed and contradictory. So we see genius and flaws in their personalities, things to affirm and things that make us cringe. But what would we have done and would we have acted differently? For better and worse these twelve shaped the rest of our twentieth century and their shadows fall on our still difficult pathway." -- Back cover.
