An insight into the Treaty that sparked a Civil War but made modern Ireland

This highly readable book, with many colourful illustrations, casts light on a remarkable but little-known facet of the War of Independence.

In these essays and speeches Michael Collins spelled out his vision for the future of Ireland, as well as his analysis of its past.
