Introduction -- 1. A New Ireland? -- 2. Winning the Party? -- 3. 1965: The First Failure -- 4. 1969: The Second Failure -- 5. From Leader in Crisis to Leader in Government -- 6. The National Coalition, 1973-77 -- 7. 1980s: New Leader, New Party -- 8. The Constitutional Crusade -- 9. A Liberal Ireland?.

Fine Gael's demise has been periodically predicted since 1933 and yet it has survived, becoming the largest party in the state after the 2011 election. Drawing on interviews with key players and previously unused archival sources, this book offers a fascinating account of a critical period in Fine Gael's history when the party was challenged to define its place in Irish politics. The central role played by Declan Costello is disclosed for the first time: he was never party leader, yet his Just Society proposals transformed Fine Gael by encouraging a new generation of socially-minded politicians, while his agenda for change paved the way for Garret FitzGerald. Exploring the continuities and discontinuities between Costello's Just Society and FitzGerald's Constitutional Crusade, the book documents how the internal debate shaped the party and provides an insight into the origins of an identity crisis with which Fine Gael continues to struggle.
