Product Description
Product Description
Michael Collins is remembered as a romantic and legendary figure, whose tragic death is still the subject of discussion and speculation. He was born in West Cork in 1890, and joined the Irish Republican Brothergood (IRB) in London 1909. He returned in 1916 and played a prominent part in the rising against the British Occupation of Ireland. Collins was a signatory of the Treaty, a member of the Executive Council of Sinn Fein, Commander-in-Chief of the pro-Treaty forces and President of the Free State Executive Council. Elected Chairman of the Provisional Government in 1922, Michael Collins was killed in an ambush at Beal na mBlath in the same year. This is the only book ever written by Collins contains articles and speeches, first published in 1922, written in a personal style in which he evaluates Irish heritage, puts forward his arguments in favour of the Treaty, and shows the possiblities for an Ireland of the future. Tim Pat Coogan's foreword to this edition outlines the development of Collins political consciousness, from the time he lived in London as a young man and became Director of Intelligence for the IRA. Coogan is the author of "The Man Who Made Ireland: The Life and Death of Michael Collins".
