The Power Game: Ireland under Fianna Fail - Softcover
New Updated Edition. The Power Game lifts the lid on the modern struggles for power within Fianna Fail, including the heaves against Charles Haughey and the shafting of Albert Reynolds. It also explores in detail the careers of Jack Lynch, Charles Haughey, Albert Reynolds and Bertie Ahern, and looks at the impact on the party of the explosive revelations at the judicial tribunals about the extent of corruption in Irish public life. New material: Stephen Collins examines the most recent disclosures concerning the arms crisis of 1970 and information released from the military archives.

Review:
After a brief chapter on the Founding Fathers de Valera and Lemass, four comprehensive and well-paced sections systematically blow the gaffe on the Lynch years, the Haughey years, the Reynolds years and on to ahem Ahern --Books Ireland
The internal loyalties and cliques, the way in which such loyalty is ignored when expediency demands, and the actual and suspected abuse of power are just some of the impressions received from this chronicle ... Much of the material ... has been aired in the very recent past in the various tribunals so that it is familiar ground to the reader, and all the more fascinating for that --Bookview Ireland
A pivotal work that focuses on where we are, politically, in Ireland at the start of the new millennium --The Irish Times
