Patricia Comeford's Reviews > The Twelve Apostles: Michael Collins, the Squad, and Ireland's Fight for Freedom

This is an excellent book about the life, activities, and associates of Michael Collins (born October 16, 1890; assassinated August 22, 1922). This is the third book I've read by this author, and it does a very good job of completing the picture of Michael Collins, a fascinating, heroic, and handsome man. It contains many interesting stories about his adventures, and it also includes several nice photographs and plates. The author is quite knowledgeable about Irish affairs and also the history of the IRA, and I recommend his books for those who wish insight into this exciting period of history.
