Áirithint áit ar Dangerous Ambition : The Making of Éamon De ValeraBorn in New York, he was raised as Eddie de Valera in rural Limerick – his mother absent, his father gone. A lonely child, he became ‘Éamon’ later. Reared to be a labourer, Eddie got into Blackrock College and graduated from the Royal University of Ireland – rare breaks for a boy of his social class. Reading, rugby, hunting and prayer were his pastimes. In 1924 de Valera left jail after serving just eleven months for his part in a vicious Civil War. His future looked bleak. But destiny found him a place in history. This is the story of what made him who he was by 1926.
