A solidly readible book. Largely unquestioningly pro both Cosgraves the book is interesting nonetheless and is riddled with interesting historical anecdotes and snippets. A worthwhile read even for non-Fine Gael supporters. A useful starting point for anyone conducting research on the two individuals.
An important analysis of the party. He is the first Irish author to have used material in the Aiken Papers in UCD for this topic. His coverage of the Leadership contests in 1966 and in 1979 are good though he leans highly toward the PD view of history in relation to the Arms Trial. His coverage of Haughey's tenure borrows heavily from his previous book, The Haughey File.
