Are You With Me? by Mike Chinoy

Are You With Me? by Mike Chinoy

Kevin Boyle was central in founding human rights law centres at universities from Ireland to Japan. Though a towering figure, his personal story is not well known. Now, based on years of research, thousands of documents, and scores of interviews, former CNN correspondent Mike Chinoy has crafted the compelling life story of a remarkable Irishman.

A terrific biography told by a world-class journalist

-- Dan Rather * CBS News *

An eloquent account of the life and work of one of the greatest heroes who has ever worked in the sphere of human rights… and I am delighted that Mike Chinoy has written this book.

-- Zeinab Badawi
This chronicle of Kevin Boyle’s life is outstanding. Told by an accomplished writer, it is an engaging narrative of five interwoven strands; the political, the historical, the international legal, the academic and the deeply personal. * Dublin Review of Books *
Chinoy’s book is a worthwhile read and a fitting homage not only to an individual pioneer of international human rights law, but also to the underestimated power of the law in challenging injustice and inequality around the world. -- Connor Beaton * Irish Legal *
Chinoy’s biography is a conscientious, engaging tribute to a true believer in universal human rights. While lawyers rarely seem glamorous, Boyle proves they can still be heroes. -- Melissa Chan * Los Angeles Review of Books *
A fitting tribute to a great man who helped forge Irish peace. -- Eilis O'Hanlon * The Independent *
In this beautifully-written and fascinating book, Mike Chinoy has brought to life one of the great pioneering human rights lawyers of our times, a brilliant and dedicated fighter for justice, first in Northern Ireland and then on the international stage. -- Conor O'Clery

The story of the late Kevin Boyle is well worth telling … Never one to seek the limelight, his name and legacy slipped into an obscurity from which Mike Chinoy has deservedly rescued him.

-- Mary McAleese
