Man of No Property

This is a dramatic portrait of the young nationalist, released from internment in 1924 and determined to shape a new Ireland. Andrews completed his studies at University College, Dublin, then devoted his life to public service until the 1970s. After Fianna Fail won the 1932 general election, he became a member of the ruling elite and held a number of official offices. His forthright evocation of the personalities who occupied center stage and formed Ireland's social and intellectual climate during his own lifetime provides for controversial and stimulating reading.
