I think you probably have to have Irish heritage to really understand this book. I merely married an Irish man but have had a keen interest in Irish history for the past 40 years.
This book explains Collins own thoughts about the treaty with the UK that eventually led to true Irish independence. His acceptance of the treaty (which he truly believed was a first step) unfortunately led to civil war, dividing families and politicians.
All I really know is that you were either pro Collins or pro De Valera and the name "Dev" was only mentioned in conjunction with spit hitting the floor by my husband's family.
Whichever way you thought however there is no denying that Collins was a huge influence on Irish politics and the push that led to independence. A fascinating read from the Big Fella himself. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Ireland, its history and the struggle for independence.
