Overview

"Before O'Connell, Ireland was still caught in the meshes of the Middle Ages, peopled by lessor beings whose heritage was grinding poverty and whose destiny was serfdom. WIth him there came a new Ireland. O'Connell, to use O'Faolain's phrase, 'is the definition of Ireland,' and one need go back no further to find the origin of her modern history." Chipping and tears along all edges of the dust jacket. Small stains on back cover. Dust jacket in plastic protector. Previous owner name written on front endpages.
