Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Jack Lynch - A Biography by Dermot Keogh. published by Gill & Macmillan, 2008. hardcover in dustjacket. Jack Lynch is one of the most important and most underrated Irish political leaders of the twentieth century. A sportsman who won six All-Ireland medals in a row with Cork, he was also a civil servant in the Department of Justice and a barrister on the Southern Circuit before being elected to Dail Eireann in 1948. During his thirty-one unbroken years as a parliamentarian, he was first a junior minister and then, between 1957 and 1966, held the ministries of Education, Industry and Commerce and Finance. Those neglected years of his life are examined in detail in this book. Succeeding Sean Lemass as Taoiseach in 1966, Lynch became the first post-revolutionary leader of Fianna Fail. He held office during the critical years of the late 1960s and early 1970s when Northern Ireland disintegrated, precipitating one of the worst crises in the history of the Irish state. Based on eight years of work in archives in Ireland and abroad, Dermot Keogh s book shows that Lynch was a more complex, determined and adroit political leader than his avuncular, soft-spoken, pipe-smoking image might suggest. The new evidence shows how he kept his nerve during the Kafkaesque months of early 1970 when efforts were made by cabinet ministers to import arms for use in Northern Ireland. He stood firm in defiance of those who wanted the state to become complicit in the use of violence. The debt to his courage and determination in the defense of democracy in Ireland has not yet been acknowledged or discharged. Lynch upheld the parliamentary democratic tradition at great personal and political cost, even to the point of fracturing the unity of his government and his party. He helped rebuild the Fianna Fail Party in opposition after 1973, and return them convincingly to power in 1977 only to be virtually forced out of office two years later. If you want to know what happened during his years as a politician, read this book. BX48.

All colour-plates with tissue-guards in place and in wonderful condition. Excellent association-copy with the personal inscripton by Max Beerbohm to his friend Jack Lynch by incorporating the half-title: "Jack Lynch's copy of [Rossetti and his Circle] from Max - 1923". Rossetti and His Circle is a book of twenty-three caricatures by English caricaturist, essayist and parodist Max Beerbohm. Published in 1922 by William Heinemann, the drawings were Beerbohm's humorous imaginings concerning the life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his fellow Pre-Raphaelites, the period, as he put it, "just before oneself." The book is now considered one of Beerbohm's masterpieces. Beerbohm returned to England from his home in Rapallo in Italy so that he could study photographs of the subjects he depicted in his caricatures. During the winter of 1917 he rented a cottage in the English countryside near the home of his friend William Rothenstein so that he could work on his Rossetti drawings. Every day, carrying his portfolio of drawings with him, Beerbohm walked across the snow to visit Rothenstein. "No wonder Max was nervous of leaving his Rossetti caricatures in an empty cottage. What a remarkable reconstruction of a period!" Rothenstein later wrote. Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had captured Beerbohm's imagination. "In London, in the great days of a deep, smug, thick, rich, drab, industrial complacency," he wrote, "Rossetti shone, for the men and women who knew him, with the ambiguous light of a red torch somewhere in a dense fog. And so he still shines for me." Beerbohm's caricatures include Dante Gabriel Rossetti with his sister Christina, John Ruskin, Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Holman Hunt, John Millais and George Meredith. In plate 22, Oscar Wilde, on his 1882 lecture tour in America, describes the delights of the Aesthetic Movement to a fascinated audience. This tour had been organised by Richard D'Oyly Carte to publicise the new Gilbert and Sullivan opera Patience. Sir Hugh Walpole bequeathed Beerbohm's original watercolour artwork for Rossetti and His Circle to the Tate Collection in London in 1941. A special limited edition of 380 numbered copies bound in white cloth was also published in 1922. These were signed by Beerbohm.
