Big Jim Larkin – Hero or Wrecker
Much has been written about 'Big Jim' Larkin but, remarkably, this is the first full-length biography. Through the research of leading labour historian Emmet O'Connor, Larkin - labour leader and agitator - is thoroughly evaluated. O'Connor goes beyond the public figure of heroism to explore the hidden side of a very private person who hated people knowing his business and kept his ambitions and personal demons behind a veil of silence.
