Jiving At The Crossroads (New Edition)
In 1991, Ireland was in the midst of a devastating recession; thousands of young Irish men and women had emigrated over the previous decade, and divisive social and moral debates on abortion and divorce had rocked Irish society. The great pillars of society - politics and religion - were beginning to crumble, a process that continued in subsequent years as both institutions were hit by scandal.

Brian Lenihan was for many years a significant member of Ireland's Fianna Fail party, the party of Eamon de Valera which began back in the 1920s. He was also his party's candidate for President in the 1990 election, the election won by Mary Robinson. In this no holds-barred biography, veteran journalist James Downey unveils the true Lenihan, with his extraordinary magnanimity, his loyalty to party and country, the inner shyness which he concealed.

James Downey has been one of Ireland's leading and best-known political commentators. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
