De Valera's Irelands

For many, Eamon de Valera, revolutionary, politician and President of Ireland, shoulders the responsibility for many of the defects of post-independence Irish society. The essays in this book by authors and other experts including Owen Dudley Edwards, Dermot Keogh, Catriona Clear, John McGahern and Garret FitzGerald, reexamine and reevaluate that charge.The collection encapsulates existing knowledge of the years of influence of de Valera, and offers challenges for future investigation.
