Inscription reads To Senator Pat Leahy in appreciation of a fruitful & enjoyable visit to Vermont of the BAPY, David Trimble 22 July 07. Frank Millar is a Northern Irish journalist and former unionist politician. The son of Frank Millar, also a unionist politician, he was known as "Frank Millar Jr" during his early political career. He joined the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), and remained a member when his father left the organization to sit as an independent Unionist. Millar was the Press Officer of the UUP during the early 1980s. He stood unsuccessfully for 1982 Northern Ireland Assembly in South Antrim. However, he was elected to that body in 1984 in an uncontested by-election in Belfast South caused by the IRA murder of Edgar Graham. In 1983, Millar became the General Secretary of the UUP. At the 1987 UK general election, he stood in Belfast West, receiving 18.7% of the votes cast. The same year, he worked with UUP MP Harold McCusker and the DUP's Peter Robinson to produce a report on power sharing, following a positive report on the topic by the Ulster Political Research Group. The Task Force Report gave serious consideration to the idea, and called for a strategic unionist rethink in the wake of the Anglo-Irish Agreement. Millar subsequently became a journalist and has long been the London Editor of the Irish Times. In 1998, he was named the Irish Print Journalist of the Year. In 2004, he wrote a biography of UUP leader David Trimble, entitled David Trimble: The Price of Peace. In this compelling and engaging new book, award winning journalist Frank Millar delivers David Trimble as we have never known or heard him before. Revelatory and self-critical, Trimble's honesty and candor in his discussions with Millar are remarkable for a politician still in office. Millar's knowledgeable and challenging questions result in a riveting conversation in which the Nobel Peace Prize winner explains how and why he gambled everything to help London and Dublin politicize the provisional republican movement and reward his Sinn Féin enemies with a place in government. William David Trimble, Baron Trimble, PC (15 October 1944 - 25 July 2022) was a Northern Irish politician who was the inaugural First Minister of Northern Ireland from 1998 to 2002, and leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) from 1995 to 2005. He was also Member of Parliament (MP) for Upper Bann from 1990 to 2005 and Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Upper Bann from 1998 to 2007. Trimble began his career teaching law at The Queen's University of Belfast in the 1970s, during which time he began to get involved with the paramilitary-linked Vanguard Progressive Unionist Party (VPUP). He was elected to the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention in 1975, and joined the UUP in 1978 after the VPUP disbanded. Remaining at Queen's University, he continued his academic career until being elected as the MP for Upper Bann in 1990. In 1995 he was unexpectedly elected as the leader of the UUP. He was instrumental in the negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, and (along with John Hume) won the Nobel Peace Prize that year for his efforts. He was later elected to become the first First Minister of Northern Ireland, although his tenure was turbulent and frequently interrupted by disagreements over the timetable for Provisional Irish Republican Army decommissioning. Trimble resigned the leadership of the UUP soon after being defeated at the 2005 general election. In June 2006, he accepted a life peerage in the House of Lords, taking the title of Baron Trimble, of Lisnagarvey in the County of Antrim. He did not stand again for the Assembly, which finally reconvened in 2007, instead leaving the UUP to join the Conservative Party. Presumed First Paperback Edition, First printing.…
