Synopsis

Born into a middle-class family in 1930s Dublin, Tim Pat Coogan grew up against a background of highly charged political activity in Ireland. He went on to play a vital role in bringing the IRA/Sinn Fein to the peace talks table, and has always been uniquely placed to comment authoritatively on all aspects of Irish current affairs - as well as providing an understanding of the 'hidden Ireland' of the IRA. Both a bestselling biographer and a legendary journalist, Tim Pat Coogan has long created controversy with his forthright comments. Through the Irish Press, of which he was editor for twenty years, he is renowned for bringing about social and political change to Ireland. His memoir is long-awaited and reveals both the public and private lives of one of Ireland's most influential journalists.

Media Reviews
Tim Pat is a world authority on Northern Ireland, and greatly respected for his intimate knowledge of, and involvement with, the Peace Process... highly stimulating, packed with good stories, funny anecdotes, interesting characters, piognant moments of autobiography and his characteristically strong opinions... a rich and glorious pot-pourri of Irish life and experiences. -- MARY KENNY IRISH INDEPENDENT an instructive prism through which to view some aspects of the evolution of post-independence Ireland... the narrative flows easily and enthusiastically. It bespeaks love of country and love of life and it is punctuated with the sharp, dry humour that characterises the man. -- CONOR BRADY THE IRISH TIMES such an entertaining read... revealing observations. IRISH INDEPENDENT memories with purpose and energy and passion. IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAY - BOOK OF THE WEEK Coogan has indeed lived, and continues to live, in interesting time, made all the more so by his determination to engage with the issues of the day.
