Michael O’Leary. Turbulent Times for the Man Who Made Ryanair Michael O’Leary lifts the veil on the wildly successful and wildly controversial Ryanair CEO. Based on extensive research – including with close associates of O’Leary – the book examines O’Leary’s personality, beliefs and obsessions and describes how these have moulded the business he runs. Written by a multi-award-winning journalist and broadcaster, with a thirty-year career covering business and current affairs, it is a fascinating insight into the business behind the man, and the man behind the business. In a world of colourless corporate leaders, Ryanair’s aggressive, mouthy chief executive provides catnip for journalists. Cooper, an award-winning Irish writer and reporter, makes the most of the opportunity to dissect his colourful subject. – Book of the Month, The Financial Times Fascinating book… very comprehensive. – Eamon Dunphy, The Stand An indispensable guide for anyone who wants to understand not just where Michael O’Leary and Ryanair are coming from, but where they are going. – Sunday Business Post A frequently enlightening unauthorised biography… entertaining. – Irish Independent
