Description: "When American journalist Patrick Michael Rucker learned of the Northern Ireland peace accord signed on Good Friday of 1998, he knew he had to return. Rucker had last seen this torn country in 1991, when "the troubles" raged at a fever pitch of daily bombings and murder. Could such a violently divided society truly live in peace? What had changed? In the fall of 1998, Rucker returned to Belfast to see for himself, and this book is his report."--BOOK JACKET.
