RaveThe Irish Times (IRE)We Don’t Know Ourselves is a remarkably original, fluent and absorbing book, with the pace and twists of an enthralling novel and the edge of a fine sword, underpinned by a profound humaneness. O’Toole insists the book is a not a memoir, and that is true, but it contains a rich vein of personal and familial experiences ... O’Toole has a ball in dissecting Charles Haughey and his psychology, and it makes for a gripping portrait; fittingly, given the degree to which Haughey’s \'mastery of hypocrisy was mesmerising, exquisite, magisterial\', he writes about him more than any other politician.
