"In comparison with other 20th-century Irish leaders, W.T. Cosgrave has been neglected by scholars. This biography by a leading Irish historian uses sources not previously consulted to examine W.T. Cosgrave's career as a local politician, a rebel, a minister, the head of government for nearly 10 years, and the opposition leader. In particular, the book assesses his role as a state-builder and a key figure in the Irish democratic tradition" - Book cover
