A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history. A vile little man.

TRAITOR KING- Andrew Lownie
He was not a traitor, his intelligence was way too limited to even comprehend what an act of treason was.
A vile couple of humans.
This is a light read, borders on the melodramatic at times but the sources are impeccable. They were both horrible people, the selfishness is truly epic.

THE MAN WHO MADE IRELAND - Tim Pat Coogan
I've spent years trying to understand Irish politics and I'm still no closer even after reading this very interesting biography.
Complex would be understating what Collins was, if he hadn't been assassinated who knows how things would have panned out , but reading this I'm suggesting much of the blood shed 50 years later wouldn't have occurred.
A much easier read than Coogan's book on De Valera.
