The Great Melody by Conor Cruise O'brien
An authoritative study of Edmund Burke, the man and his age. It aims to liberate this remarkable, tormented and brilliant man from the obscurity usually created by so many confusing details of British political life. Conor Cruise O'Brien also wrote "Parnell and his Party".
Conor Cruise O'Brien is a distinguished statesman and writer. Over a long and varied career, he has served in the Irish external affairs office; was a member of the Irish delegation to the United Nations (at one point being seconded as a special assistant to UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskj�ld); was elected an Irish Labour Party parliamentarian, later serving in the cabinet; and was appointed editor-in-chief of the London Observer. A contributing editor to The Atlantic Monthly, O'Brien lectures around the world at leading unversities and writes weekly columns for The Independent in Britain and The Irish Independent. His many books include States of Ireland and The Great Melody: A Thematic Biography of Edmund Burke.
