About the author

Michael Collins (a.k.a. Mícheál Ó Coileáin) was an Irish politician and soldier who was a leading figure in the struggle for Irish independence in the early 20th century. Collins was an Irish revolutionary leader, politician, Minister for Finance, Director of Information, and Teachta Dála (TD) for Cork South in the First Dáil of 1919, Adjutant General, Director of Intelligence, and Director of Organisation and Arms Procurement for the IRA, President of the Irish Republican Brotherhood from November 1920 until his death, and member of the Irish delegation during the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations. Subsequently, he was both Chairman of the Provisional Government and Commander-in-chief of the National Army. Collins was shot and killed in an ambush in August 1922 during the Irish Civil War.

Reviews

[S. Sigerson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hayden Talbot was a journalist who interviewed Collins at length, in the trubulent days of the Truce & Treaty. His book includes a great deal in Collins' own words, which appears nowhere else. Some of Collins' associates later objected that Talbot's book includes some inaccuracies; but there is certainly a good deal here that rings true. His first-hand impressions of Collins the man, as well as the Irish leader's office / working environment, co-workers / staff / colleagues, their interaction, were taken down in the heady aptmosphere of a country engulfed by revolutionary change. Anyone interested in Collins, his life, &/or times, Irish history in general, is bound to be fascinated.
