This book concludes the life of O'Connell from after emancipation until his death. This book is more focused than the first and concentrates on his career more than his private life. Once again it is brisk and workman-like. However, as with the first book, it makes you yearn for a fuller treatment. O'Connells ability to mass agitate is still not appreciated. The abandonment of Clontarf has to be seen in the context of someone who had lived through 98 and was also employing an untried peaceful means of achieving change. I have to say it is a cracking read, that has raised O'Connell tremendously in my esteem.
