Donal MacIntyre is an award-winning investigative journalist, specialising in hard-hitting investigations and television exposés. In The Dog’s Head and Other Underworld Encounters Donal opens up his reporter’s notebook and reveals some of the most compelling stories of his career. In this candid and revealing collection, we are given a fascinating insight into what it means to truly take risks and live a life without limits. Donal has gone undercover with football hooligans, befriended notorious gangsters and gotten up close and personal with Johnny ‘Mad Dog’ Adair and his devoted neo-Nazi followers. His life was threatened by an out-of-control crack addict, he has spent time on death row in America’s most infamous penitentiary and bought Semtex in Kosovo. This is living dangerously on a grand scale.
