5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing and enjoyable, 23 May 2008
By Don O'meara "Dedon" (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One criticism which might be levelled against biographies of revolutionary/military figures is that they seem to suggest that the individual had little or no life before and after their period of fighting. This criticism cannot be levelled against Richard English's book. In dealing with O'Malley's life English covers all aspects from early childhood to his time during the Irish War of Independence to his later period spent living in the USA and finally his old age. In particular O'Malley's post-1924 life is particularly interesting and provides an insight as to how men like him continued their lives after the fighting has ceased. As well as being a well researches biography this book also deals with themes of Irish Nationalism (through O'Malley's life) such as ideological tensions between liberal democracy and physical-force nationalism, the roots and effects of political violence and the tensions between the intellectuals of the Irish nationalist movement and the men on the ground (of which O'Malley had his feet in both camps).
Though by no means the best book in its field it does set a good standard for the examination of the lives of Ireland's War of Independence men and women.
