CHOICE Review

In this second volume of his distinguished biography of Daniel O'Connell (v.1, CH, Nov'88), MacDonagh (Australian National University) examines O'Connell's life from the achievement of Catholic Emancipation in 1828 to his death in 1847. O'Connell is shown to be a masterful, highly pragmatic politician, the leading British as well as Irish radical, at the head of the emerging Irish nationalist movement. MacDonagh focuses on O'Connell's campaign for the repeal of the Act of Union, the creation of a separate Irish party at Westminster, and the achievement of a kind of power sharing in Ireland in the late 1830s. MacDonagh's skillfully written study does justice to the complexities of O'Connell's remarkable career. This is the first full-length biography of the "Liberator" in half a century and will doubtless become the standard. Highly recommended for college, university, and public libraries. -C. W. Wood, Jr., Western Carolina University
