As Ireland's Minister for Housing, Eoghan Murphy took on one of the toughest briefs in government, one that continues to be a challenge today. Looking back at his life in the build-up to parliamentary office and at his time in the cabinet, Eoghan brings a self-lacerating and deeply personal view of the life of a modern politician trying - and often failing - to make the positive change he hoped to deliver. Brutal and sometimes harrowing, Eoghan's tale is also surprisingly funny, though the humour is only ever at the author's expense.

I let them see patients, X-rays, records, everything." "And what were the results of those investigations?"

There were heroes and villains, valiant soldiers and dissipated youths, but their lives were interconnected through the tiny Queen for whom their welfare and happiness was a constant preoccupation.

Before being named President Trump's Secretary of Commerce in 2017, Wilbur Ross had already earned a reputation as the "King of Bankruptcy" over his fifty-five-year career on Wall Street. Often working on high-profile bankruptcies such as Pan Am and Texaco, Ross helped restructure more than $400 billion in assets, and was named among Bloomberg's fifty most influential people in global finance.

Es difícil imaginar una personalidad argentina del siglo XX que genere más controversias y pasiones que Eva Perón. Amada y odiada con la misma intensidad mientras estuvo en el poder, mitificada y repudiada desde su muerte en 1952, Evita se ha convertido en un icono político y social. Su figura ha sido reivindicada por sectores políticos en apariencia inconciliables, y sin ella, ni el peronismo ni el antiperonismo habrían sido lo que fueron (y lo que son).
