When Fine Gael entered a coalition government with Fianna Fail in
2020 the party did what would have been unthinkable for its
forefathers who fought and won a bitter civil war to establish the
institutions of an independent Irish state almost a century
earlier. Told through the lens of its leaders and Taoisigh, Saving
the State is the fascinating story of the wilderness years and the
achievements in government, the defeats and crises, the
partnerships and the leadership upheavals that have shaped Fine
Gael over the decades. From the special place in the party's
pantheon of heroes occupied by Michael Collins to the dark era of
the Blueshirts, and from its role as the founders of the state to
its claim to be the defenders of the state, the ways that members
perceive their own history is also explored. This book is essential
reading for anyone interested in understanding how Fine Gael came
to be the party it is today and the role that it played in shaping
modern Ireland. 'A superb, illuminating and even-handed look at the
highs and lows in Fine Gael's turbulent history,' David McCullagh,
author of DeValera: Rise and DeValera: Rule. 'It is a tremendously
well written book. At 418 pages it flows extremely well and is very
accessible, even to the uninitiated.' Barry Shep, The Irish Story
'Collins and Meehan have made a valuable contribution to the canon
of Irish political histories' David Davin-Power, Irish Independent
Review 'fascinating' Matt Cooper, Sunday Business Post 'It's a
fascinating insight into the party from day one right up until the
present day' Joe Finnegan Show, Northern Sound 'It's a really
really detailed and wonderful book' Tommy Marren, Midwest Radio
'Formidable and authoritative' Andrew Lynch, Sunday Business Post
