Kevin O'Shiel : Tyrone nationalist and Irish state-builder
Sagarra, Eda2013
Books
This is the first biography of barrister, polemical journalist and party activist Kevin O'Shiel, the only English and Jesuit TCD-educated Northern Irish Sinn Féin nationalist. Born into an established Ulster family just a fortnight after the death of Parnell and dying in the year following the outbreak of modern 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland, O'Shiel was in many ways atypical of the Irish nationalists of his day. This book draws on substantial archival research, including its subject's extensive unpublished memoirs, shining a light on O'Shiel's life and career and offering a rare insight into middle-class Ulster Catholic nationalist culture in the late 19th- and 20th centuries.
