By Kevin O'Rourke

Anglo Republic is the definitive account of the rise and fall of Anglo Irish Bank, the institution at the heart of Ireland's financial crisis. Drawing on exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to internal documents, journalist Kevin O'Rourke tells the inside story of how a small Irish bank became one of the world's largest and most reckless financial institutions, and how its collapse brought Ireland to the brink of bankruptcy.

O'Rourke's book is a gripping tale of greed, recklessness, and regulatory failure. He shows how Anglo Irish Bank's management took on ever-increasing risks in pursuit of short-term profits, and how the bank's regulators failed to rein them in. He also reveals the role played by the Irish government, which provided Anglo Irish Bank with a series of bailouts that ultimately cost taxpayers billions of euros.

Anglo Republic is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Irish financial crisis. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of financial recklessness and the importance of strong regulation.
