Samenvatting:

Author and publisher Steve MacDonogh opens the book on the inside stories of a controversial career.
In the 1980s he breached Whitehall's veil of censorship by bucking the D-Notice system to publish a detailed account of post-war British intelligence. Later, he successfully fought Thatcher government's attempt to ban One Girl's War, the memoirs of an M15 officer.
It is a story full of contrast and variety: he describes working with Alice Taylor, author of some of the biggest-selling books ever published in Ireland; with John B. Keane, Neil Jordan and others. He relives the "Kerry Babies" controversy and recalls his sometimes perilous campaigning in support of Salman Rushdie, and his fight against Irish broadcasting censors.
