What is Epilogue: Diaries of a Long-Distance Runner about?

The epilogue offers a personal account of the author’s initial meeting with intermediary Brendan Duddy in Derry in 1997, their contacts over the following years, and the background to Duddy’s decision to deposit his private papers in the National University of Ireland Galway in 2009. Duddy acted as the primary intermediary between the IRA and the British government during repeated phases of engagement over a span of more than two decades. During all that time his identity was a closely guarded secret. His papers are dominated by three key periods of negotiation: the 1975 IRA ceasefire, the 1981 hunger strike, and the back-channel contacts of the early 1990s.
