Description
Against the Tide is a story of a life marked by both tragedy and triumph. Noel Browne's journey as a doctor and politician is a testament to his unwavering commitment to reform. His campaign for change, particularly the Mother and Child Scheme of 1951, was met with fierce opposition from the medical establishment and the Catholic Church. This memoir, first published in 1986, offers a candid and passionate account of Browne's tumultuous political career, spanning nearly forty years.
