The revelatory autobiography of a rugby colossus: Paul O'Connell.
WINNER OF THE CROSS SPORTS BOOK AWARDS RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEAR There
has never been a rugby player quite like Paul O'Connell. He is
synonymous with passion, heart and determination; but he is also
the thinking man's rugby player, a legendary student of the game.
As the heartbeat of Munster, British and Irish Lions captain in
2009, and captain of the first Ireland team to defend a Six Nations
championship, O'Connell has emerged as perhaps the most beloved of
the golden generation of Irish rugby players. In an autobiography
as intense as its author, he tells the story of his remarkable
career. 'The years of O'Connell and O'Driscoll were as close to a
golden age as ever Ireland will get and O'Connell's book tells you
how it all happened ... It should be mandatory for every Irish
squad member to read O'Connell's book to better understand what it
takes to make a team' David Walsh, Sunday Times 'O'Connell has
emptied the tank here. ... What has come out ... is a psychological
profile that is almost shocking at times in what it reveals about
the bloody single-mindedness of the competitive gene' Hilary A.
White, Irish Independent 'The intense physicality of his rugby
upbringing is an abiding theme ... along with humour, the craic and
an extensive knowledge of how teams work' Paul Hayward, Daily
Telegraph 'I found The Battle entrancing' Stephen Jones, Sunday
Times 'Excellent ... [an] eye-opening account of the never-ending
battles he fought' Rugby World 'Revelatory ... Unflinchingly charts
his personal evolution ... He is not at all easy on himself' Keith
Duggan, Irish Times
