As Ireland confidently faces a new millennium it is fitting that it looks back in awe and gratitude to the men who created it. Chief among these paladins was Daniel O'Connell, well named the "Liberator". Born in West Kerry to a family which retained some of the remarkable features of the old Gaelic clans he formed himself into the leader of his people, equipping himself for the task with long hours of tedious study to fit himself out as one of the most brilliant lawyers in a legal system that was horribly biasde. This book covers the highs and lows of a giant who owned to very human weaknesses but managed to wear with justice and dignity the trappings of greatness.
