Condition: New

Redmond brings to life seven pivotal years in Irish history, when the campaign for Home Rule seized the imagination of a nation and brought Ireland to the brink of a negotiated settlement with Britain. The architect of this campaign was John Redmond, the shrewd and assured leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. Redmond succeeds in weaving a complex portrait of a forgotten hero of Irish politics and the personalities - from Churchill to Carson, de Valera to Lloyd George - who aided and, ultimately, frustrated his life's work. Dramatic and immersive, Redmond is a provocative reassessment of one of Ireland's most brilliant political minds.
