« As you read this book, you will discover how a peace process can be built from the bottom up. If you want to find out how Northern Ireland coped with its long-running nightmare of recurring violence, you will see here how community activists responded with courage, resilience and amazing leadership – unsung heroes and heroines who played a key role in conflict resolution and community development within, and across, the sectarian divide. » (Professor Monica McWilliams)
