'This highly readable and enjoyable book includes the best Irish political writers - journalists, academics and politicians - and gives a unique view of the history of the Irish State through the lens of its Taoisigh' - Prof Ian Robertson, Trinity College, Dublin 'A glittering, kaleidoscopic view of the bumblers, chancers, do-gooders and political wizards who have led and shaped Ireland. These cool, lucid essays show a nexus of power and personalities that at times resembles a cross between Machiavelli and Father Ted' - Rory Carroll, Ireland Correspondent, The Guardian 'No comprehensive overview of the office of taoiseach and the politicians who occupied it has been published until now. Happily, Iain Dale has rectified that omission, bringing together some of our most perceptive historians and incisive analysts to tell a story not just of individual political successes and failures but of the remarkable transformation of Ireland over its 100 years as a sovereign independent nation' - Hugh Linehan, presenter of the Irish Times Inside Politics podcast
