About this ebook
In 1921 the Anglo-Irish War came to an end. From it would come the Irish Free State and then the Irish Republic; on the Irish side the heroes are well known and glorified. But who were the people that brought Michael Collins and his men to the negotiating table? And what would have happened if those negotiations had failed? Through researching an obscure policeman who shared his name, the author discovers the fascinating tale of two forgotten men who were to shape history: an eccentric colonel from India and a gun-fighting policeman from Mayo.
