Description
Michael Collins is often thought of as Ireland's lost leader: a man born into a revolutionary environment who became a skilled statesman and military leader. His personality and actions fascinated both the Irish population and his British enemies, who sought to repeatedly capture him. Setting the secret war firmly within the context of the Irish capital at the time, the author draws on an extensive range of primary sources - inlcuding documents which have only recently been released - to vividly recapture the atmosphere of the period.
