Synopsis
An in-depth study of the death of Michael Collins, leader of the Irish War of Independence. This book offers a startling new perspective on one of history's most notorious unsolved mysteries: the fatal shooting in 1922, of the Commander-in-Chief of newly-independent Ireland. Its controversial new reconstruction of events the ambush 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 edition of 1991 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.
