'P. S. O'Hegarty (1879-1955)' provides an informative and lively
biography of the Irish nationalist P.S. O'Hegarty, a major historical
figure in the modern separatist movement. At the same time the book
explores important issues within nationalism and Irish history, such as
what is meant by 'nation' and national identity, cultural and political
tolerance, Republican Liberalism, and the nature (as well as the clash)
of religion and state.
