Feckers: 50 People Who Fecked Up Ireland

Dive headfirst into the hilarious and provocative world of *Feckers: 50 People Who Fecked Up Ireland* by Waters! This digital original, published by Constable in 2010, is more than just a humour book; it's a scathing, witty, and undeniably Irish take on the figures who shaped (or perhaps mis-shaped) the nation. With 288 pages of laugh-out-loud prose, this paperback promises a rollicking ride through Irish history but not the kind you learned in school. Who makes the list of shame? That's the question Waters fearlessly tackles. From iconic politicians like Haughey and de Valera, to cultural behemoths like Bono and Louis Walsh, no one is safe from the author's sharp pen and even sharper wit. *Feckers* doesn't just name names; it dissects their actions, motivations, and ultimate impact on the Emerald Isle. Prepare to have your assumptions challenged and your funny bone tickled as Waters delivers a no-holds-barred assessment of Ireland's most influential (and infamous) characters. This isn't a dry historical account. It's a lively, opinionated, and often outrageous expos. Waters doesn't shy away from the "gobshites," those figures who, through incompetence, corruption, or sheer bad luck, left an indelible mark on the country. Expect irreverence, satire, and a healthy dose of Irish cynicism. *Feckers* sparked considerable debate upon its release. While some praised its audacious humor and willingness to confront uncomfortable truths, others found its tone controversial. Regardless of where you stand, this book is guaranteed to ignite conversation and offer a fresh perspective on Irish identity. Weighing in at 316 grams, *Feckers* is perfect for anyone interested in Irish history, political satire, or simply a good laugh. Its a must-read for those seeking a less-than-reverent look at the people who made Ireland the "fecked-up country" it is today. A bold and unforgettable read.
