William Martin Murphy (1845-1919) was one of the most successful of
Irish entrepreneurs and businessmen. As well as being a good
employer, Murphy was an international financier, and a contractor
of railways and tramways on three continents as well as in Britain
and Ireland. He revolutionised the Irish newspaper industry, was a
patriot who opposed concessions in the Home Rule Bill, supported
Sinn Fein as a political party, and vigorously opposed conscription
and partition. Although he was a man with a strong social
conscience and sense of social responsibility, he came to be viewed
as something of an ogre and regarded as the man who starved the
workers of Dublin into submission in 1913-14 and who called for the
execution of James Connolly in 1916. This book re-examines Murphy's
remarkable career.
