Overview
Recently released papers from the Public Record Office in London show the Dublin police anxiously trying to compile a reliable dossier on the shadowy figure of Michael Collins, soon to become one of the most revered - and feared - men in Irish history. This important new book presents facsimiles of all the significant documents in the Royal Irish Constabulary's secret file on Collins from December 1916 to April 1920. The handwritten reports of undercover constables and the comments and instructions of their officers convey a powerful immediacy, bringing the reader eerily close to the urgency and excitement of those crucial years when Collins was recruiting, training and inspiring his flying columns for the imminent War of Independence.Book Details
