Synopsis
The first volume of a major two-part reassessment of the man who shaped modern Ireland. Eamon de Valera is the most single most consequential Irish figure of the twentieth century. While de Valera the statesman, the rebel, the visionary, has passed over into a sort of myth, de Valera the man remains an elusive, almost opaque presence. Precious little is known of his background, his motivations - the roots, in short, of his ferocious devotion to a very particular brand of Irish nationalism. Here, McCullagh considers the man behind the colossal achievements, and sketches a ground-breaking portrait of de Valera, his times and his complex, ever-shifting legacy.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. From Mary Daly's long-form review in the Dublin Review of Books: "Eamon de Valera was the most significant political figure in twentieth century Ireland. One of the great strengths of this first volume in David McCullagh's biography is to show that his pre-eminence was by no means inevitable, even after he was spared execution for his part in the 1916 Rising. Volume 1 tells the story from his birth in 1882 until 1932, when Fianna Fáil entered government." She concludes her review as follows: "Insofar as a balanced and comprehensive account can be given of this major figure, who continues to divide Irish opinion, this is it." Many black and white photographs. Clean, bright copy. A heavy book. Will incur extra postal costs outside Ireland. Seller Inventory # 003663
