Brendan Bracken by Sean Dixon (Pencil Sketch), 1941
Summary
[edit],_1941.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
English: Bracken was an adventurer who tried to disguise his roots (Dublin/Tipperary), claiming instead to be Australian.
A Tory MP at the age of 28, he published both the Economist and the Financial Times, and was loyal to Churchill when the latter had been cast into the political wilderness after the First World War. In 1940, when Ireland practiced scrupulous neutrality, Brendan Bracken played a key role in Churchill’s succession as Prime Minister, and went on to serve as Minister of Information for three years. Viscount Bracken died in 1958 at the age of 57. He is the subject of an excellent biography by fellow Dubliner Charles Lysaght. |
