First Sentence
"Anyone who might have seen the young Michael Collins in a loft on a sunny summer day on the family farm at Woodfield in West Cork a hundred years after the foregoing letter was written would have found it very hard to credit that he would ever survive to march into captivity - or live to smash the system of informers and intelligence-gathering that enabled Major Sirr to be in the right place at the right time to capture Lord Edward Fitzgerald."

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.
