This is the first book about Michael Collins by an author with experience in security, party politics, and covert political abuses.

A lecturer in history and social anthropology, S M Sigerson has devoted thirty years to on-going in-depth study to the subject of secretive interference in lawful political activity, including politically-motivated killings.

Fascination with Michael Collins’ story inspired eleven years’ intensive research on his life and times; including first-hand acquaintance with places, people and culture connected with him.

This is the first author to approach the enigma of Collins' death, armed with this unique range of expertise.
