About the Book
Reviews

Much more than another political memoir, this is an honest, no-punches-pulled account of Irish politics by a man who served as a Dáil Deputy for thirty-six years, including a revealing appraisal of the personalities and leadership of James Dillon, Liam Cosgrave, Garret FitzGerald, Alan Dukes and John Bruton.

With a constituency adjoining the Border, Paddy Harte had a particular understanding of the Northern situation and the book discloses his pioneering attempts to create dialogue between activists and politicians on all sides of the divide at a time when such contact was unheard of.

'pulls no punches on a series of political events that happened during his time in Dail Eireann, including the infamous Minister for a Day saga of Dr. James McDaid' - Irish Times

'His political memoir is, as expected, a good yarn. The book is a fascinating look behind the scenes as Harte gives an insight into some of the leading politicians of the day.' - NewsLetter

'An honest, no punches-pulled, account of Irish politics bby a man who served as Dail Deputy for 36 years, including a revealing appraisal of the personalities and leadership of James Dillon, Liam Cosgrave, Garret Fitzgerald, Alan Dukes and John Bruton.' - Irish Farmers Monthly
