Michael John Collins (1890–1922)

After Michael Collins was assassinated, Kitty Kiernan collected their letters to each other over the period of their courtship. Her sons kept these in trust after she passed away, eventually making them available for Leόn ό Broin to present in this exceptional historical archive.

The period in Irish history of independence from the UK and the Irish civil war has all the makings of great story-telling. This collection of letters gives the student of that time period unique access into the personal ife of perhaps the key player in that story. ό Broin presents these letters with minimal interference - inserting his own brief historic notes to help the reader keep track of the letters' place in the story. This is not gripping reading, but a marvelous resource for the history buff.
