Este libro no es una autobiografía, ni la historia clínica de un individuo. Estamos ante una obra literaria que narra aspectos de la niñez del autor (desde su nacimiento hasta los ocho años), en un intento por explicar las estrategias de las que se vale una mente para sobrevivir en circunstancias extremas de miedo, exclusion y ataques emocionales. Narra como no desintegrarse ante los sufrimientos provocados, en buena medida, por quienes debian cuidar del niño, por quienes deben cuidar de la infancia. El unico aspecto de la situacion que podia cambiar era yo mismo.Gracias a cinco Principios que fueron desarrollandose en su mente, ese niño no solo logra sobrevivir y mantenerse cuerdo, sino que llego a convertirse en una persona de talento y un profesional reconocido. Este libro describe la dolorosisima, titubeante y contradictoria via para forjar un quinto Principio que le permitio vivir sin negar el pasado y, al mismo tiempo, sin encadenarse a el.

John Gilligan is one of the most notorious and hated criminal figures in Irish history. His name is indelibly etched in the national psyche a quarter of a century after he crossed the line to organise the execution of the fearless, high-profile journalist Veronica Guerin. Gilligans motive for the assassination was, in the words of the prosecution at a subsequent murder trial, the necessity of having to protect an evil empire. At the time Gilligan was one of the most powerful and feared godfathers in the country who controlled a colossal drugs empire and the underworlds most dangerous mob.Gilligan tells the story of a young mans rise through the ranks of gangland following his journey from petty thief to public enemy number one. He was part of the generation of young criminals - like the General, the Cahills, the Hutches - who ushered in the phenomenon of organised crime in Ireland and became household names in the process.This close-up look at a criminal mastermind contains new details including a graphic account of the planning of the Guerin murder, drawn from a sealed statement which was never used, and the prison time and criminal activity which have occupied Gilligan since, up to his recent arrest in Spain on drug trafficking charges.
