  Synopsis Details Reviews  
'If you look back over Irish history, you will probably find no other person who made such an impact as O'Connell. At a time when the people were downtrodden he raised them and showed them how to defeat their conquerors...he showed the power of the people when they speak with one voice.'O'Connell is one of the most significant of Irish politicians. An innovator of democratic politics and a believer in the path of peace. Long given a secondary role in the story of Irish freedom, this short biography will open up this fascinating figure to younger readers. Future titles in this series will include the biographies of Michael Collins, Robert Emmet and Padraic Pearse.
