By European standards, the left in Ireland has not been successful
historically, yet its failure has concealed considerable
achievement in the occasional great popular mobilisations of the
past two centuries. In the process, virtually every shade of
radical thought has found expression in Ireland at some point or
other, and the country has produced a diverse and colourful range
of social rebels. Studies in Irish radical leadership, an edited
collection of nineteen biographies of labour leaders and radical
activists, examines a sample of the men and women who made that
history of protest. Looking over the shoulders of Connolly and
Larkin, it provides fascinating insights into the careers and
mentalities of Irish labour's second-string leaders. It ranges from
the primitive rebels of the early nineteenth century to the
parliamentarians of the late twentieth, and asks what kind of
people they were, what motivated them, and what is leadership? -- .
