"...a valuable contribution to the literature on Michael Collins..." - Tim Pat Coogan
A startling new perspective on one of Irish history's most notorious unsolved mysteries: the fatal shooting in 1922 of Michael Collins, Commander-in-Chief of newly-independent Ireland. Its controversial new reconstruction of events at Béal na mBláth may be shocking to some: yet demonstrably fits the known facts and eyewitness accounts.
This is the first book on this famous "cold case" in decades; carrying on where John Feehan's landmark study of 1981 left off. It presents the most complete overview of the evidence ever published; as well as an itemized catalogue of the various witnesses' mutual contradictions and corroborations.
