McGarry and O'Leary' ''Explaining Northern Ireland: Broken Images'' (Blackwells, 1995) is widely regarded as the most authoritative (and most cited) book on the Northern Ireland conflict.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scholar.google.ca/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=CTi6U-gAAAAJ&citation_for_view=CTi6U-gAAAAJ:u5HHmVD_uO8C|title=Google Scholar|access-date=9 February 2024}}</ref> Their ''Policing Northern Ireland: Proposals for a New Start'' (Blackstaff Press, 1999) influenced the work of the [[Independent Commission on Policing for Northern Ireland]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Barry White|title=Patten...finding the gems in the detail|work=[[The Belfast Telegraph]]|date=18 September 1999}}</ref> The commission's work on reforming Northern Ireland's police dealt with one of the most intractable issues in the negotiations around the [[Good Friday Agreement]].
