In 1980s Irish politics was dominated by a fierce rivalry between Charlie Haughey and Garret Fitzgerald, both leaders of their respective parties, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. Between them they swapped the Taoiseach position like a tennis ball; to say their two opposing personalities shaped Irish life during this era is an understatement. Eoin O'Malley has amassed an extraordinary body of original research: in-depth interviews with dozens of the most consequential public figures of the past six decades, including every Taoiseach, cabinet members, elected officials, civil servants, journalists and public figures. As political rivals with radically different approaches to public life and contrasting visions for Ireland, each enshrined in wildly divergent personalities, the choice between Haughey and Fitzgerald came to signify a great deal more than party loyalty or policy preference.
