Paul O'Connell Livres

The revelatory autobiography of a rugby colossus: Paul O'Connell. WINNER OF THE CROSS SPORTS BOOK AWARDS RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEARThere has never been a rugby player quite like Paul O'Connell. He is synonymous with passion, heart and determination; but he is also the thinking man's rugby player, a legendary student of the game.As the heartbeat of Munster, British and Irish Lions captain in 2009, and captain of the first Ireland team to defend a Six Nations championship, O'Connell has emerged as perhaps the most beloved of the golden generation of Irish rugby players. In an autobiography as intense as its author, he tells the story of his remarkable career.

The book explores the marginalization of socio-economic rights within the broader human rights framework, likening their treatment to that of Cinderella. It examines the reluctance in constitutional democracies to recognize and enforce these rights, often citing concerns about conflicts with the separation of powers doctrine. By addressing the tensions between judicial enforcement and democratic principles, the author challenges prevailing attitudes and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of human rights.
