Riassunto:

In his autobiography George Hook will tell his amazing life story for the first time,
from his childhood in Cork right through to his emergence as one of the sharpest and most outspoken media commentators of today.

Hook tells with painful frankness of his life and his failure as a son, as a father, as a husband and as a businessman.

He also tells about his career in catering and the constant struggle to keep the banks, his creditors and a nervous breakdown at bay.

He found solace in rugby. Here for the first time is his account of how he gave Eddie O'Sullivan his first big break, how they made a success of Connacht, and how the relationship changed.

It covers his controversial days coaching London Irish and how he prepared the USA for the first rugby World Cup.

He writes with a sometimes unsettling honesty about the impact it all had on his life and the lives of those he was closest to, and how he both saved his marriage and found happiness and redemption in the career for which he was made.
