These two classic memoirs beautifully chronicle C.S. Andrews' life in Dublin as a participant-and one of the founding fathers-in the formation of the State, and are as relevant to a new generation as they were when first published twenty years ago. The first book, Dublin Made Me (1979), is a gem. Andrews gives us a vivid description of growing up in Dublin's north inner city in the first decade of the 20th century. He captures the sights, sounds, and smells of the city, its beauty and ugliness, its charm and prejudice.

Review:

'The total autobiography adds up to a sharp and penetrating study of the nature of our society. Reading it forces one to stand up and look around.'- The Irish Times 'Andrews has become an important historical figure, firstly because of his public life ... A second reason for his historical importance is his two memoirs, Dublin Made Me and Man of No Property. They are easily the most complete and truthful accounts of what it was like to have experienced that extraordinary epoch in Irish history; nothing else quite like them has survived elsewhere.'- Tom Garvin, Magill 'One of the most riveting books I've read for years.' - Sunday Independent

From Library Journal:

Andrews recounts his life in Dublin, where he was born in 1901. As a child he moved from an impoverished area to a more upscale one and here reflects on both. He also discusses his early gravitation toward republicanism and his work with the anti-British forces. This 1979 volume provides an honest, firsthand account of a pivotal time in Irish history.
