Mercier Press 1990 160 pages Notes Index Bibliography
In thirteen chapters the author gives a rather hagiographic bio of one of the principle actors in the “Irish War of Independence” 1916 to 1921.Yet another instance of glamorizing terrorists. Michael Collins b.1890 may have been an organizational genius but he was also arrogant and vicious.
