Impossible Peace

A story of change, drawing on the thoughts of some of those who made the ceasefires and the political agreement in Northern Ireland possible. Impossible Peace was published by Brian Rowan in August 2024. The project is a marrying of spoken and written words that help tell the story of what the former Clinton adviser Nancy Soderberg describes as a ‘miracle’ emerging out of leadership and vision; that moment, to borrow a thought from Miriam Reynolds, daughter of the late Albert Reynolds, when an impossible peace began to look possible.

An educational tool 'Impossible Peace' uses Rowan's recorded interviews with the key players in the process (both on and off the record) alongside 22 essays for noted contributors. 'Impossible Peace' is a 72 page book which offers fresh insight into the tricky process of peace. It offers hope on a global stage and places reconciliation front and centre stage.
