'In this book, Noel Dorr looks back at the period which led up to Sunningdale, at the Conference itself and its outcome, at the short life of the new political institutions and at some of the reasons why this initiative, born in hope, did not succeed. He concentrates on the policies of the Irish Government - indeed two successive Irish Governments - and how they evolved over the years 1969 to early 1974. A personal view of events, issues and ideas, as seen by one Irish official over that five-year period. Noel Dorr is the Chairman of the Royal Irish Academy's Committee on International Affairs. He is a former secretary-general of the Department of Foreign Affairs and served as the Irish ambassador to the United Kingdom and the United Nations. He has published widely on Irish foreign policy.
