Overview

'My mother told me that when I was but a few weeks old she said to my father I think that there is going to be a wave in Terry's hair and when he showed no interest, she rebuked him. She again tried to attract his attention and as she did he replied How can I mind about the wave in Terry's hair when they are fighting in the Four Courts . Into a very volatile Ireland, Terry de Valera was born in June 1922. In this memoir he recounts events in his life and that of his family against the ongoing changing political landscape of the Civil War, the threat of World War II, the fiftieth anniversary of the 1916 Rising, the ultimate demise of his very famous parents, and the growth of his own family, including of course his daughter Sile de Valera. This is at once a very personal memoir, but is guaranteed to be of interest to anyone keen to learn more about one of Ireland's foremost political dynasties.
