James Hogan
      
Commentary Donnachadh Ó Corráin, ed., James Hogan: Revolutionary, Historian and Political Scientist (Dublin: Four Courts 2001), 249pp. Reviewed by Colman Cassidy (The Irish Times, 7 July 2001), with remarks: Hogan viewed the Republican Congress, established by [Peadar] ODonnell and George Gilmore in 1934 to take the gun out of Irish politics in the tradition of Michael Davitt, as, in reality, a front for communism and hence condemned him as a leading communist agitator; his views in Election and Representation, reviewed by Sean OFaolain in The Bell in 1946, were anathema to OFaolain as to ODonnell; ODonnell blamed him among others for the fact that he could not get a visa in order to raise money in America to save The Bell.
