Korte biografie
Frank Pakenham met his future wife, Elizabeth Harman, at Oxford, where he graduated with a First in Modern Greats.
Once a Conservative, he became a socialist. He and Elizabeth eventually had 8 children and the whole family converted to the Roman Catholic faith. He had a noted political career, including a Cabinet Ministry, but gained a reputation as an eccentric through his efforts to rehabilitate criminals and enact prison reform.

Detractors of de Valera would consider the book very easy-going though criticism does come through at crucial stages, importantly this is self-criticism from de Valera himself. The book is particularly worth reading for the negotiations concerning neutrality and the second world war, which he considered his greatest achievement, and his opinion of the War of Independence and the Civil War.
