One of the most important books on Northern Ireland politics since the Good Friday Agreement; and certainly the most important on the Assembly and the function - and dysfunction - of devolution. Disturbingly revelatory. -- Alex Kane, columnist and commentator Superbly researched and explained with clarity and precision. Sam McBride's book should be required reading for those working in the public and private sectors far beyond Northern Ireland as a manual on how not to run major projects and how not to govern a society. -- Mark Devenport, political journalist and broadcaster

Sam McBride’s Burned is a compelling exposé of a system gone rotten. It’s about greed, sleaze and dysfunction, a saga of incompetence, nitwittedness and knavery by those who ran Northern Ireland until the scandal broke and collapsed the power-sharing government in January 2017. -- Rory Carroll * The Guardian *

This is a magnificent book by one of Ireland's finest journalists. It is a shocking work, and raises profound and troubling questions about the future of government in Northern Ireland. An absolute page-turner. --Susan McKay, The Irish Times One of the most important books on Northern Ireland politics since the Good Friday Agreement; and certainly the most important on the Assembly and the function - and dysfunction - of devolution.
