'Reads like a John Grisham thriller' -- Pat Kenny
'A pivotal work that focuses on where we are, politically, in Ireland at the start of the new millennium.' -- The Irish Times * The Irish Times *
'The internal loyalties and cliques, the way in which such loyalty is ignored when expediency demands, and the actual and suspected abuse of power are just some of the impressions received from this chronicle ... Much of the material ... has been aired in the very recent past in the various tribunals so that it is familiar ground to the reader, and all the more fascinating for that.' -- Bookview Ireland
'After a brief chapter on the Founding Fathers de Valera and Lemass, four comprehensive and well-paced sections systematically blow the gaffe on the Lynch years, the Haughey years, the Reynolds years and on to ahem Ahern.' -- Books Ireland * Books Ireland *
'It is a well told account of modern Irish history and of the party which has dominated it, and looks set to continue to do so for some time to come. Highly recommended.' -- Tuam Herald * Tuam Herald *
