Synopsis
Eoin O'Duffy was one of the most controversial figures of modern Irish history. A leader of the Irish revolution, and protégé of Michael Collins, he commanded the Irish police and defense forces, before emerging as Ireland's leading fascist politician in the 1930s. A crusading moralist, obsessed with the need to counter public immorality, and a closet homosexual and alcoholic, O'Duffy's remarkable life was characterised by self-aggrandisement, fantasy, and contradiction.

"McGarry has done a path-breaking professional study of an almost forgotten but very significant man who was important not only in himself but also as an example of a social type."--Tom Garvin, American Historical Review

EOIN O'DUFFY: A SELF-MADE HERO C
Seller: Chap Books, LEWES, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Eoin O'Duffy was one of the most controversial figures of modern Irish history. A guerrilla leader and protégé of Michael Collins, by 1922 he was chief of staff of the IRA, a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood's Supreme Council and a Sinn Féin deputy in Dáil Éireann. He founded Ireland's first fascist party and led an Irish Brigade to fight under General Franco in the Spanish Civil War. This, the first ever biography of O'Duffy, traces his journey from revolutionary republicanism to fascism. McGarry peels away the public persona to reveal a crusading moralist and advocate of teetotalism, obsessed with the need to counter public immorality, who was at the same time a closet homosexual and alcoholic. O'Duffy's remarkable life was characterised by self-aggrandisement, fantasy, and contradiction. This biography explores themes of cultural nationalism, violence, sectarianism, militarism and masculinity. This is a first edition in excellent condition. Seller Inventory # ABE-1712420531544
