The Shooting of Michael Collins

Was Michael Collins killed by an accident of war or was he ruthlessly murdered? Both of these possibilities are calmly and carefully examined by the author, who has rejected the traditional theory that he was killed as a result of a ricochet rifle bullet and leans towards the possibility that he was shot by a Mauser pistol.

In The Shooting of Michael Collins the author calmly examines the controversial circumstances surrounding the death of this brilliant leader, putting all the evidence before the discerning reader.

For this edition the author rewrote large sections of the book, incorporating new information that came his way. It has aroused exceptional and absorbing interest in this baffling and bewildering mystery.
