Product Description
When the Irish nationalist Michael Collins signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921, he observed to Lord Birkenhead that he may have signed his own death warrant. In August 1922 that prophecy came true when Collins was ambushed, shot and killed by a compatriot, but his vision and legacy lived on. Tim Pat Coogan's biography presents the life of a man whose idealistic vigor and determination were matched by his political realism and organizational abilities. This is the classic biography of the man who created modern Ireland.

 Absolutely fascinating and very readable January 4, 2009
A fascinating and very readable look at an intriguing figure. I couldn't put it down. Coogan presents a balanced look at a very chaotic period and a man who was responsible in a large way for shaping that era. Highly recommended!
Michael Collins rules! September 26, 2007
Excellent book, very well written in the usual "Coogan" way, that is, skilfull, fluent and full of nice anecdotes. Gives an insightful portrait of one of Ireland's greatest men and my personal favourite. Eireann go brach!
 A good picture of revolutionary Ireland May 14, 2007
An informative humanizing biography that provides a good picture of revolutionary Ireland. More photogrpahs would have made for 5 stars.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants an intense indepth study of Collins and Ireland of his time. This is easy to read and full of interesting information about the man and those around him. Collins was a genius who shaped the fate of modern Ireland and did so with an acute sense of how far he wcould go to achieve what he wanted.
It really makes me wonder how much better off Ireland would have been if he had not best lost so early in his life.
