POLITICS:Judging Lemass: The measure of the manBy Tom Garvin Royal Irish Academy, 300pp. €30

THIS BEAUTIFULLY produced book complements rather than rivals previous biographies of Seán Lemass. It presents extensive primary source material, including photographs and correspondence, which offer bite and context to those with an interest in the era but without access to the archival material.
