Book by Hart Peter
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Few leaders in history have been as mythologized as Michael Collins. Before his death at 31, he had fought in the Easter Rising, organized the IRA and out-spied British intelligence, negotiated the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and run the first independent government in Ireland. Peter Hart’s groundbreaking biography restores humanity to this mythical figure. Drawing on previously unknown sources, delving into Collins’s pre-revolutionary past, and assessing the methods—and the costs—of his rise to power, Mick reveals a man of often ruthless ambition, more politician than soldier, whose friendships went no farther than his interests. A work as thrilling as it is authoritative.
A triumph . . . Insights abound . . . Reads like a le Carre thriller. (The Irish Book Review)
This is the book that will unquestionably be the starting point for all future reflections on Collins. (The New Republic)
[Hart] succeeds in demystifying a legend. (The Boston Sunday Globe)
A fine biography . . . written with immense verve. (The New York Times Book Review)
