Michael Manley is perhaps the most written about and the best-chronicled leader of any Caribbean nation of the modern era. Yet none of the three published biographies or the numerous articles and analyses of his legacy as Jamaica's most controversial leader has succeeded in taking readers beyond his public persona to reveal who Michael Manley really was - until now - and in his own words. Truth be Told is not Michael Manley's autobiography, but it is as close to one the world will ever get. Rather, it is the transcribed text of three years of taped interviews conducted by his wife Glynne between 1993 and 1996. Manley passed in 1997.
