Mick: The Real Michael Collins

Mick: The Real Michael Collins

Few leaders in history have been as mythologized as Michael Collins. Before his death at 31, he had fought in the Easter Rising, organized the IRA and out-spied British intelligence, negotiated the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and run the first independent government in Ireland. Peter Hartâ€™s groundbreaking biography restores humanity to this mythical figure. Drawing on previously unknown sources, delving into Collinsâ€™s pre-revolutionary past, and assessing the methodsâ€”and the costsâ€”of his rise to power, Mick reveals a man of often ruthless ambition, more politician than soldier, whose friendships went no farther than his interests. A work as thrilling as it is authoritative.
