Liberator Daniel OConnell : The Life and Death of Daniel O’Connell, 1830-1847 (2)

It is an outstanding biography. An excellent and detailed biography of the Liberator's final years and his struggles in the English parliament. Geoghegan is appreciated for his even-handedness in describing O'Connell's personality and motivations as years passed. I also enjoyed The Hereditary Bondsman , McDonagh, which describes the early years and education of O'Connell and suggest that this be read first in order to have some context for the post-emancipation period of O'Connell was truly a remarkable, bigger-than-life person which Ireland was blessed to have.

Identified as the champion of the weak and the oppressed, he became famous internationally for his opposition to slavery in all its forms. However his attempts to overturn the Act of Union and restore the Irish parliament were less successful and he became depressed and demoralised as his popularity began to fade in the late s. In this sequel to his critically acclaimed King Dan, Patrick Geoghegan looks at the dramatic final years of O'Connell's life and career.

THE LIBERATOR Written by Bill McCann

Charting his remarkable rise and fall in the s, it also deals with his political resurrection in the s when he rolled back the years to lead a new national movement, culminating in a series of massive public meetings around the country. In doing so he developed a new model for peaceful agitation, and confirmed his reputation as the man who Gladstone believed was the Moses of Ireland. Read more Read less.

Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. Daniel O'Connell is one of the greatest ever - if not THE greatest - Irishmen, a colossus who dominated the political life of the first half of the 19th century, and this biography - and it's companion volume King Dan - brings him wonderfully to life. It is beautifully written and we follow Dan throughout his triumphs and his failures and we get know him as a person with his foibles, faults and virtues. He was uncompromising in his non-violent approach to effecting change and for that he is much more worthy of our admiration than the psychotic gunmen who came to the fore in the early part of the 20th century and whose baleful legacy is still with us.
