'A book by the greatest living Irishman on the greatest Irishman who ever lived' Independent

Statesman, political thinker, orator and ardent campaigner, Edmund Burke was one of the greatest minds of the eighteenth century. His ideas and principles were expressed in the great debates over liberty, the rights of man and the American and French Revolutions, and are among the most important in modern history. Conor Cruise O'Brien's magisterial book is a rich and fascinating biography of an extraordinary man.
