With exclusive access to the Haughey archives, Gary Murphy presents
a reassessment of Charles Haughey's life and legacy. Saint or
sinner? He was the most talented and influential politician of his
generation, and his presence still looms over the Irish body
politic, yet the very roots of his success - his charisma, his
intelligence, his ruthlessness, his secrecy - have rendered almost
impossible any objective evaluation of his life and work. He is,
depending on whom you ask, either the great villain of Irish
political life or the benevolent and forward-thinking saviour of a
benighted nation. That is, until now. Based on unfettered access to
Haughey's personal archives, as well as extensive interviews with
over 80 of his peers, rivals, confidantes and relatives, Haughey is
a rich and nuanced portrait of a man of prodigious gifts, who, for
all his flaws and many contradictions, came to define modern
Ireland. 'A superbly balanced exploration of the life and politics
of one of the most fascinating figures in 20th century Ireland.'
Professor John Horgan 'An indispensable read for anyone with an
interest in modern Irish history.' David McCullagh 'Offers much new
detail - and not a few surprises - about the personality and career
of a political titan who is still, in equal measure, revered and
reviled in 21st century Ireland.' Conor Brady
