Description:
From the 1916 Rising, the troubled Treaty negotiations and the Civil War, right through to his retirement, Eamon De Valera has both defined and divided Ireland. He was directly responsible for the Irish Constitution, Fianna Fail (the largest Irish political party), and the Irish Press Group. He helped create a political church-state monolith with continuing implications for Northern Ireland, the social role of women, the Irish language, and the whole concept of an Irish nation. With many of the challenges De Valera confronted still troubling Ireland today, the reappearance of this classic biography is more than timely.
