Passion and Cunning: and Other Essays
Conor Cruise O'Brien
Conor Cruise O'Brien's brilliant and hugely controversial 1965 essay on the political convictions of W. O'Brien is, moreover, a critic against all-comers, his spiky guns pointing in all directions: woe betide anyone incautious enough to presume that O'Brien is on their 'side'.
Marc Notes: Originally published: 1988.; Conor Cruise O'Brien's brilliant and hugely controversial 1965 essay on the political convictions of W. B. Yeats is the title-piece for this collection of pieces on politics, religion, nationalism and terrorism. Review Citations:
