Synopsis
This timely memoir by one of the most prominent Catholic nationalist politicians in Northern Ireland is a primary source for the social and political history of the province, from the onset of the Troubles in the 1960s to the 1990s peace process and beyond. Its authentic voice lends it a vitality and an urgency that illuminates our recent past. In this book, Mallon describes his happy upbringing in South Armagh as a Catholic in a 90% Protestant village; his turbulent years as a constitutional politician in the violent maelstrom of near-civil war, when he was the target of both loyalist violence and republican vilification; and his central role in the peace process as the man who complemented John Hume, doing the ‘spade-work’ to reach a hard-won deal with the Ulster Unionists. Now in his eighty-third year, he calls for a new beginning in Northern Ireland, based on the ideal that it is a shared home place for all its people, and that Irish unity can only come about through unionist consent. His surprising and innovative proposal, based on a little-known clause in the Good Friday Agreement, shows how this might be implemented.

About the Author
Seamus Mallon, from the village of Markethill in County Armagh (where he still lives) was Deputy Leader of the SDLP from 1979 to 2001, and party spokesman on policing and justice. He was Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland from 1998 to 2001, an MP for Newry and Armagh from 1986 to 2005, as well as a member of Seanad Eireann in 1982. He was the SDLP’s chief negotiator in the talks that led to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, and the main driver of legislation in the House of Commons, ensuring that the Patten Commission’s recommendations on the radical reform of policing in the North were fully implemented - one of the major success stories of the peace process. Andy Pollak is the founding director of the Centre for Cross Border Studies in Armagh (1999-2013). Previous to that, he was Belfast reporter, religious affairs and education correspondent with the Irish Times, and editor of Fortnight Magazine from 1981-1985. He is coauthor (with Ed Moloney) the Rev. Ian Paisley’s biography. In the early 1990s he was coordinator of the Opsahl Commission, a ‘citizens inquiry’ into ways forward for Northern Ireland, and editor of the influential Opsahl Report.

Paperback. Condition: New. As one of Northern Ireland's most prominent nationalist politicians, Seamus Mallon has always sought the genuine reconciliation of conflicting traditions using only peaceful means. This is his personal testament.In A Shared Home Place, Mallon evokes his happy childhood in the Protestant heartland of Markethill, south Armagh, and dwells on the turbulent years of constitutional politics in the maelstrom of near-civil war during the 1970s and 19080s. He was the target of both loyalist violence and republican vilification, and his harrowing descriptions of tit-for-tat brutality in Northern Ireland's most bloody region outside Belfast bear poignant witness to the tragedy of hatred between neighbours.Mallon complemented John Hume in laying the foundations of the peace process and gives fascinating insights into what took place behind the scenes of negotiation that led to the Good Friday Agreement. Now in his eighty-third year, Mallon reflects upon this hard-won deal with the Ulster Unionists and calls for a new beginning - a shared home place in which Irish unity can only be achieved through parallel consent. This timely memoir encompasses the social and political history of Northern Ireland, and offers hope for its future.'Alongside legendary peace-maker John Hume, Seamus dedicated his life's work to peace with justice and parity of esteem. The story he tells reveals the effects of bad politics and the considerable courage needed to be a champion of change.' MARY McALEESE'Seamus Mallon's integrity, courage and fierce intelligence have long shone through the mark of sectarian emotions and tribal thinking. Here, with undiminished clarity, he illuminates both the recent past and the uncertain future of Ireland.' FINTAN O'TOOLE'Typically honest and compelling, this book will further cement Seamus Mallon's place in the history of the peace process. One of the best of the good guys, witness to some of the worst atrocities of the Troubles, his passion for the future and hope of a new beginning burn as brightly as ever.' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL'Mallon is a great Irishman who we can all honour and learn from. This book is a testament to the peace and progress achieved for the island of Ireland.' MICHEÁL MARTIN.
