Edmund Burke

Statesman, political thinker, orator and ardent campaigner, Edmund Burke was one of the greatest minds of the eighteenth century. His ideas and principles were expressed in the great debates of liberty, the rights of man and the American and French Revolutions, and are among the most important in modern history. Conor Cruise O’Brien’s magisterial book is rich and fascinating biography of an extraordinary man
First published as The Great Melody in 1992, it is now available as Edmund Burke in the new shortened edition, abridged by Jim Mc Cue for the bicentenary of Burke’s death
