Harte, Paddy.

Young tigers and mongrel foxes – A Life in Politics.

Dublin, O’Brien Press, 2005. 24 cm. 351 pages with 8 pages of plates with illustrations. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear.

Much more than another political memoir, this is an honest, no-punches-pulled account of Irish politics by a man who served as a Dáil Deputy for thirty-six years, including a revealing appraisal of the personalities and leadership of James Dillon, Liam Cosgrave, Garret FitzGerald, Alan Dukes and John Bruton.

With a constituency adjoining the Border, Paddy Harte had a particular understanding of the Northern situation and the book discloses his pioneering attempts to create dialogue between activists and politicians on all sides of the divide at a time when such contact was unheard of.
