Synopsis
Destined to become a classic, Until Victory Always is McGuinness's unforgettable and highly personal account of his years at the helm of the Donegal football team. The team was a wounded thing when McGuinness took over as manager in 2010, only to win three Ulster championships and the All-Ireland titles of 2012, by the time he stepped down four years later. Confessional, moving, funny, and fiercely honest, this memoir is at once the epic story of one team's audacious bid to rewrite its destiny and one man's moving testament to the power of sport to sustain us in our darkest moments.
