{"product_id":"mick-the-real-michael-collins-9780143038542","title":"Mick: The Real Michael Collins","description":"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, \u003ci\u003eMick\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Hart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.58w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143038542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Hart is the Canada Research Chair of Irish Studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland and the author of \u003cb\u003eThe I.R.A. and Its Enemies\u003c\/b\u003e (winner of the Christopher\u003cb\u003eEwart-Biggs Memorial Prize) and two other books on modern Irish history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44436223688819,"sku":"9780143038542","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_feeb4935-d56c-4da4-88ba-7eee9ef1a115.jpg?v=1772894658","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/mick-the-real-michael-collins-9780143038542","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
