"I want to congratulate Albert for this memoir which marks a significant contribution to our modern history. This book chronicles the life and times of Ireland's eighth Taoiseach from his earliest memories through his full and action-packed time in Government, to his life beyond politics...His immense abilities took him to the top of the ladder in Irish politics and this ... Read morebook chronicles his many achievements and accomplishments. You can almost hear Albert's authentic voice describe battles won and battles lost in his characteristically refreshing, frank and often self-deprecating style." Brian Cowen, Taoiseach 20090924 "Fifteen years after resigning as Taoiseach, and with his achievements in the North secure, Albert Reynolds tells his own story...One of its great strengths is that, like the man himself, it is utterly unpretentious. Unlike most political autobiographies, the book does not have a grandiose self-serving title, simply Albert Reynolds: My Autobiography."
Stephen Collins Irish Times 20090912 "A sensational account of his life by former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds ... gives a graphic account of [his] rise from dancehall promoter to the Taoiseach's office and his fall from power after two tumultuous years."
Liam Collins Sunday Independent 20090823 "He tells [his story] briskly, and with more accuracy and objectivity than one normally expects from politicians. And he tells quite a few good yarns along the way."
James Downey Irish Independent 20090926 "This book is a serious contribution to contemporary Irish political history"
