In advance publicity for Ruairi O Bradaigh: The Life and Politics of an Irish Revolutionary we're told O Bradaigh's rejection of the Good Friday Agreement "is rooted in his analysis of Irish history and his belief that the peace process will not achieve peace.

Instead it will support the continued partition of Ireland and result in continued, inevitable, conflict."

We can only hope that White, an academic at Indiana University, highlights the role played by O Bradaigh, and his friends in the Continuity IRA in continuing a conflict rejected by the overwhelming majority of people on the island.
