Unchecked Corruption. International Intrigue. As a young man in 1960s Ireland, Gerard MacManus joined the Irish Army. This set in train a sequence of events that resulted in him: guarding Europe's borders during the Cold War, patrolling the meanest streets in the world as a cop in Atlanta and going undercover in high-living and low-life Florida. His adventures included nearly killing President Nixon's best friend, not quite arresting one of the world's biggest rock groups and finding himself responsible for the security of Yitzhak Rabin, against the latter's wishes. MacManus has seen more action and witnessed more pivotal events "from the Cold War to responses to 9/11" than most would ever dream about. His life is an Irishman's record of the violence, organised corruption, and compassion found in America and the west during the last fifty years. Surrounded since childhood by literary and artistic achievement, but writing for the first time about his life experiences, MacManus digs deep into his dark times to reveal a powerful story.
