Review
"This book shows us Michael Collins' ideas about the golden future he foresaw for Ireland." -- Irish American News "Irish American News"
Product Description
In these essays Michael Collins spells out some of his vision for the future of the country, as well as his analysis of the past. Some of his writing is in the anguish of a civil war which he struggled so hard to avoid, and in which he saw his country torn apart while seeking to establish and defend democracy, liberty and stability. Michael Collins' overall vision is still inspiring, he sees the necessity for open trade with overseas markets, for investment and management, and for putting the national economy on a sound footing as a priority.
