Item description from seller

Third printing of the first Irish edition, published in October 1945. The first two Talbot Press printings were May and June 1944, The book was also published in the UK by Victor Gollancz in 1944. ***Very good in green paper-covered boards over a navy blue cloth-covered spine. Boards clean and unmarked. The gilt titles have oxidised over time but are still legible. Edges of boards slightly rubbed and worn. No significant creases or tears to the fragile binding. No reading creases to the spine and no reading lean. Spine tight. . ***In a very good sepia-toned illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 8/6 net on the front flap. The dustwrapper is largely complete, with just some loss and associated closed tears and creasing to the top edge of the front panel. Edges and corner tips of dustwrapper also slightly creased and worn with slight loss. Small chip to the centre of the spine of the dustwrapper. Back panel and spine of dustwrapper discoloured, rubbed and marked (being a pale matt background). Spine of dustwrapper slightly darkened. ***361 pages including index at the back of the book. 190mm x 130mm. ***'Not by accident does a man become the voice of the people and a statesman of world fame, as Eamon de Valera has become today. In this biography M. J. MacManus (literary editor of The Irish Press), who is unusually well equipped for his task, has traced, vividly and dramatically, the development of a career which has been romantic in almost every phase. His book provides not only a new interpretation of the character and personality of a great Irishman but also embraces the political scene of which de Valera has been, and still remains, the central figure. The story, which is brought right up to date, sheds new light on much that has hitherto been obscure and, whilst facing controversial issues boldly and squarely, is entirely free from any tinge of bitterness.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'A biography of the famous Irish politician, who went on to become the president of Ireland between 1959 and 1973. Written by Michael Joseph MacManus, a writer, humorist, and bibliophile. Macmanus wrote for many Irish journals and newspapers, and became the first literary editor of The Irish Press in 1935.' (Wiki) ***An early printing of the first Irish edition - very hard to find now in the original fragile wartime dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
