To date this is the most thorough and in-depth analysis of Seán Lemass. John Horgan does an excellent job, as he has done in other books, in analysing Lemass’ life before he entered politics, then his early contribution to Fianna Fáil and subsequently as a Minister from 1932 when he built up the Department of Industry and Commerce and subsequently the Department of Supplies. His relationship with other party figures, and especially de Valera, is also explored in detail. There is also good detail regarding Lemass’ decision to retire and the resulting leadership contest in Fianna Fáil which would result in long-standing divisions within the party. Altogether the book provides a rigorous analysis of Lemass’ contribution to Irish politics. Horgan is a very good biographer, one must hope he will choose to write more.

This is a substantial and widely acclaimed biography of Sean Lemass, considered one of the finest political leaders in the history of the Irish state. The author explores facets of Irish life which owe something to the genius, effectiveness or determination of the Fianna Fail leader. 'There are few facets of Irish life which do not owe something to the genius, effectiveness or determination of Lemass. Horgan's biography explores that contribution quite brilliantly.' Bertie Ahern - 'The Irish Times' '... a comprehensive and thoughtful work worthy of the subject, (it) lives up to its billing as a major biography of the Fianna Fail leader.' Stephen Collins - 'The Sunday Tribune' 'John Horgan has written, in a detached and careful style, the first substantial biography of Sean Lemass.' Gemma Hussey - 'The Irish Independent' Other books by John Horgan Noel Browne Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
