Synopsis

Published to coincide with the upcoming film biography starring Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts, and Stephen Rea, The Path to Freedom contains the only published work of the Irish hero who was, for a time, the most wanted man in the British Empire: "the man they couldn't catch." In 1921, the thirty-year-old Collins negotiated with the British and signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty, eventually leading to the creation of the Republic of Ireland.
