Political Betrayal How Charlie Haughey Acquired E70 Million

"One of the most explosive books to come out of Ireland in more than 25 years" - Sean Duignan, former political correspondent, RTE. Political Betrayal is a collection of dramatic new revelations on former Taoiseach Charles Haughey and his mistress Terry Keane. What was the chemistry that ignited the 27-year torrid affair with Terry Keane...at a cost to the Irish taxpayer of e26,000 a month on wining, dining, presents and holidays? Special Branch memoranda seen by the author reveal that Haughey was acting as a spy for the IRA for a long period. Another memorandum discloses that while Minister for Finance he tapped the phone of Taoiseach Jack Lynch - just before the dramatic Arms Crisis. In Political Betrayal, corruption, drama, romance, scandal and betrayal are all documented and exposed in the culture of excess and intrigue operated by Haughey during his twelve years at the helm.
