Caracteristici
Peter Taylor has been ranked by The Times alongside David Attenborough and Trevor McDonald for the quality of his reporting. His book offers both a valuable overview for those approaching the conflict in Ireland for the first time, and a fascinating new perspective for those who have in-depth knowledge
Notă biografică
Peter Taylor is acknowledged to be one of the BBC's most distinguished and respected journalists, best known for his coverage of the Irish conflict and political violence over the past 50 years. He has won many awards for his work including Journalist of the Year, the James Cameron Award and Lifetime Achievement Awards from both BAFTA and the Royal Television Society. He was also presented with an OBE and an Honorary Doctorate in Peace and Security Studies from Bradford University. Peter has written nine books, eight of them related to Northern Ireland, terrorism and political violence. His Bloomsbury trilogy, Provos, Loyalists and Brits is recognised to be a definitive history of the conflict. Operation Chiffon now completes the picture and makes the trilogy a unique quartet.
Recenzii
A gripping exploration of how MI5 and MI6 worked for a ceasefire with the IRA - and how one meeting changed everything
Operation Chiffon is a compelling, exhilarating historical account. A significant journalistic "scoop" for the author, it is also an authoritative, scholarly, insightful and balanced treatment of one of the most extraordinary intelligence cases of modern times . Taylor is a master at juxtaposing scenes . It is these small but significant details that not only draw in Taylor's audience but ultimately bring to life his magnum opus
Peter Taylor spent nearly four decades tracking down Robert to piece together the final details of his secret 1993 meeting with the IRA's chief of staff, Martin McGuinness. Last week, Mr Taylor finally broadcast an extraordinary interview with Robert . which laid bare the clandestine encounter and its far-reaching implications . It may generally be economic, political, and social forces that shape our history. But sometimes it takes the actions of an individual to channel the forces of their age to produce change
Absorbing . timely . The secretive, delicate, and complex machinations of [Operation Chiffon] are skilfully woven through a comprehensive retelling of the Troubles by Taylor . The author expertly captures that story here, of a collective effort by many resolute individuals, so that they will never be forgotten in what they did
The BBC correspondent Peter Taylor, who has reported on Northern Ireland for 50 years and earned the trust of all sides, tells the extraordinary story of Operation Chiffon in his latest book . . . The book is also the story of three unsung heroes of the peace process . . . The third man Taylor profiles, named only as Robert, was the MI5 officer who took over management of the back channel in the 1990s. Robert's is a true tale of espionage, a mixture of the dangerous and the humdrum . . . While some peacemakers received the Nobel prize and presidents attended the funerals of others, Taylor draws our attention to those whose crucial behind-the-scenes contributions went unnoticed
In this compelling account, the author and documentary-maker describes how decades of covert communications between the British government and the IRA eased the path to the Good Friday agreement - helped by an unlikely hero . . . A deeply researched and highly readable book
PRAISE FOR PETER TAYLOR: What an extraordinary asset Peter Taylor is for the BBC and for British journalism
Only a journalist of Taylor's standing could have persuaded people from all sides in the conflict to cooperate in such a manner. The result was a first-rate piece of journalism. It was also first-rate history
If you long for honesty, reason and reflection amongst the firestorm of today's news, you will find it here. Taylor walks in the steps of Richard Dimbleby, Frank Gillard, Rene Cutforth and James Cameron, a reporter who can face human horror and help us comprehend it
If you were drawing up a list of TV grandees, you might scrawl down David Attenborough's name alongside that of Trevor McDonald . . . There's also an argument to place in their company Peter Taylor . . . To report on the region since 1972 and have all sides still talking to you with trust and respect - be they Green, Orange or even shadowy MI6 men - is quite an achievement. As perhaps is the fact he is still breathing
