Eamon de Valera by Ronan Fanning
Shortlisted for the 2015 Bord Gais Energy Irish Book Awards - Nonfiction Book of the Year Eamon de Valera is the most remarkable man in the history of modern Ireland. Much as Churchill personified British resistance to Hitler and de Gaulle personified the freedom of France, de Valera personified Irish independence.
Ronan Fanning is a Member of the Royal Irish Academy, and Professor Emeritus of Modern History at University College Dublin. Among his books are the definitive history of the Irish Department of Finance and a remarkable biography (co-written with Michael Lillis) of Eliza Lynch, lover of the nineteenth-century Paraguayan dictator Francisco Solano López. More recently, he has been one of the chief editors of the Dictionary of Irish Biography. His powerful new history of Ireland, covering the decade of the Great War and the Easter Rising was pubished by Faber in 2013.
