Bertie Ahern, three times Irish Taoiseach, is often described as an enigma. The Old IRA man's son who delivered peace in Northern Ireland. A working class boy responsible for the Celtic Tiger. An ardent nationalist admired by European leaders.

Now, in this frank and revealing autobiography, Ahern gives his own account of a remarkable political life and the personal story that accompanies it.

At the cutting edge of Irish politics for over three decades, Ahern was first elected to Dáil Éireann in the 1977 Fianna Fáil landslide under Jack Lynch.

He was appointed a party whip by Lynch's successor Charles Haughey in 1979. Throughout the volatile political times, he strongly supported Haughey during three challenges to his leadership of Fianna Fáil.

His tenures as Minister for Labour and Minister for Finance underpinned economic recovery and put in place the foundations for a period of sustained growth.

Unanimously elected leader of Fianna Fáil in 1994, he helped unite his party which he led to victory at the 1997 general election.As Ireland's youngest ever Taoiseach, Ahern won widespread acclaim for his perseverance and skill in negotiating the Good Friday Agreement, which has provided the political framework for a lasting peace in Northern Ireland.

Bertie Ahern resigned on 6th May 2008. He had served for 10 years, 10 months and 10 days as Taoiseach.

Interesting and insightful to hear about Irish politics from Bertie's perspective, especially in respect of the Good Friday Agreement

Insightful

It always amazes me that in my lifetime there was open conflict in the UK, troops on the streets, bombs in broad daylight, and the car searches at checkpoints, yet no one in mainland Britain seems to have any knowledge of it or interest in it. As a kid I remember people in England pointing out that when I went back to Ireland I might get blown up!

What BA sets out here from the perspective of the Taoiseach is just how polarised the politics of NI were and the impact that had on Eire.

Theres a lot of back slapping, but if its an honest account of events then its truly amazing how the dissident factions were brought together.

Insightful look at Anglo-Irish politics through the lens of Bertie

This book is not the deep dive into deep Ireland but a chronology of Bertie Ahern from Fianna Fáil as a republican and moving Ireland into where she is today after the Good Friday agreement.
