Having spent 35 years committed to Irish politics, Ruairi Quinn has now written about his own journey—one that has taken him to the heights of power as Labour's first ever Minister for Finance and Leader of the Labour Party. From his days as a student radical, Ruairi captures the events that have taken Ireland into the 21st century—the economic and political crises of the 1980s, the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the rise of the EU. Victories, defeats, triumphs, and betrayals are all revealed as his career coincides with the remarkable social and economic transformation of Ireland.
