This book is not simply a narrative of speeches. It captures the culture that shaped these moments of national drama. Each chapter begins with a synopsis of the events preceding the debate, the debate itself and its outcome. John Drennan, in his trademark witty style, captures the story of Irelands evolution in the seven decades since the end of the war.…
