Details how Michael Collins dismantled the system of British counter-intelligence in Ireland and was the architect of the war against the Black and Tans and British empire. Many have questioned whether Collins ever fired a shot at the enemy, but he did order the deaths of people standing in his way, and even advocated kidnapping a US president.
Michael Collins co-ordinated the sweeping Sinn Fein election victory of 1918 and put structure on the organization of the IRA. He was the prototype of the urban terrorist and the architect of the war against the Black and Tans. This book offers a fresh perspective on Collins' activities.
