Michael Collins : The Man Who Won the War, Paperback / softback Book

Michael Collins : The Man Who Won the War Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In this completely revised and updated book, T. Ryle Dwyer, offers a fresh perspective on Collins' activities.

With new information about his role in organising the IRB in London in his youth right through to his death in 1922, Dwyer's analysis supports the case for Collins as the chief architect of the Irish victory over the British Empire.

Michael Collins co-ordinated the sweeping Sinn Féin election victory of 1918 and put structure on the organisation of the IRA.

He was the prototype of the urban terrorist and the architect of the war against the Black and Tans.

While many have questioned whether Collins ever fired a shot at an enemy of Ireland, he did order the deaths of people standing in his way, and he even advocated kidnapping a US President.
