About the book
Booker Prize winner Thomas Keneally transports us into the life of John Mitchel, one of the most controversial figures of the fight for Irish independence.
Bringing us on a vivid, page-turning odyssey from Mitchel's revolutionary origins in the depths of the Great Famine, through exile and a troubling political evolution, the master of historical fiction wrestles with the conflicts at the centre of a complicated legacy.
''One of the world's greatest writers.'' Spectator
'Enlightening . . . Keneally's descriptive gift comes into exquisite play.' TLS
'A gripping and resonant story.' Financial Times
