Michael Manley is perhaps the most written about and the
best-chronicled leader of any Caribbean nation of the modern era.
Yet none of the three published biographies or the numerous
articles and analyses of his legacy as Jamaica’s most
controversial leader has succeeded in taking readers beyond his
public persona to reveal who Michael Manley really was – until
now – and in his own words. Truth be Told is not Michael
Manley’s autobiography, but it is as close to one the world will
ever get. Rather, it is the transcribed text of three years of
taped interviews conducted by his wife Glynne between 1993 and
1996. Manley passed in 1997. Here is Michael Manley, no doubt with
some presentiment of his impending mortality and having made a
sacred covenant with Glynne to tell nothing but the truth,
revealing his most intimate thoughts and feelings, recollections
and experiences from boyhood days to his exit from political life
and beyond. Twenty-two years after his passing, the release of
these interviews is an event unprecedented in the annals of the
political history of any nation. Their historical value is
priceless. Inevitably in the interviews, Manley expresses opinions
and makes comments that could be embarrassing and even hurtful to
public figures and their families. For this reason portions of the
raw text have been redacted but this has in no way, reduced the
impact and authenticity of the overall text.
