A brilliant analysis of the Irish Green Party's ascent to power in 2007 and subsequent struggles to function as part of a coalition government with Fianna Fail. Mired by controversy and compromise, their three-and-a-half year in government cost the Green Party dearly at the polls. A Deal with the Devil is an authoritave account of their time in power and a tumultuous and historic period in Irish politics.
