The Taoiseach: A Century of Political Leadership
by Iain Dale
€ 24.99
ISBN: 9781800754249
Ireland, under both the Irish Free State and after full independence, has now had just over 100 years of autonomous national political leadership.
This book, based on Iain Dale's blockbuster podcast, tells the story of Irish politics over the past century by examining the lives and actions of each Irish Taoiseach, from W.T. Cosgrave to Micheal Martin. 15 leading Irish historians, journalists and politicians write essays on each of these figures, showing in the process how Ireland developed from a poor ex-colony to a successful, modern country at the heart of the European Union. In the process, the contributors examine the importance of topics such as the power of the Roman Catholic Church, changing social mores, Ireland's relationship with the UK, and its economic development.
This is a must read for anyone interested in Irish politics at a time of potential far-reaching change for the republic.
