He spent eighteen months billeted in the most expensive hotel in the world. From this luxurious base, de Valera criss-crossed America by plane, boat and train throughout 1919 and 1920, publicising his nation’s plight and raising more than $5 million for the cause of Irish independence.\nWhile the War of Independence raged back home, de Valera was supporting the cause with packed engagements from Madison Square Garden to San Francisco including a total audience of over a million people. Along the way he underwent a harsh and unforgiving political education that better equipped him to dominate Irish politics for decades.\nOffering a unique take on a familiar figure, and containing fascinating new information and photographs, this book details an intriguing and largely unknown episode in the career of Ireland’s most famous politician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847170866\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 10 black \u0026amp; white halftones\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"O'Brien Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52984910709063,"sku":"JM-QFJO-EEYG","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/61zVMsxMgaL.jpg?v=1766007238","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/de-valera-in-america-the-rebel-president-s-1919-campaign","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
