The Battle

The Battle by O'Connell, Paul. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781844882236.

The revelatory autobiography of a rugby colossus: Paul OConnell. There has never been a rugby player quite like Paul OConnell. He is synonymous with passion, heart, and determination, but he is also the thinking mans 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, OConnell 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.
