This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parnell has proved a compelling figure in Irish History. A Protestant landlord who possessed few of the gifts that inspire mass adoration, he was the unlikely object of popular veneration. His long liaison with a married woman, Katharine O'Shea, exposed him to the fury of the Catholic Church. Since initial publication in 1998, new evidence and fresh interpretations allow for a fuller and yet more complex portrait for this revised account of Parnell's life.
