Product Description
Brian Lenihan was for many years a significant member of Ireland's Fianna Fail party, the party of Eamon de Valera which began back in the 1920s. He was also his party's candidate for President in the 1990 election, the election won by Mary Robinson. In this no holds-barred biography, veteran journalist James Downey unveils the true Lenihan, with his extraordinary magnanimity, his loyalty to party and country, the inner shyness which he concealed. Downey places Lenihan firmly in the context of Irish political history in the latter half of this century and shows how important a role he played in the great and not so great events of modern Irish history. James Downey has been one of Ireland's leading and best-known political commentators.All of our books are second hand, and while you may not get the exact copy shown in the picture, all of our books are in very good condition.
