Colm Connolly charts the extraordinary career of Michael Collins, starting with his childhood in West Cork where he was instilled with a patriotic fervour by a local blacksmith through to his death at the age of 31 in a lonely valley known as The Mouth of Flowers. In that short life his impact on the course of Irish history was profound. He was a powerful, vigorous man whose charm, intelligence and physical attractiveness - allied to ruthlessness and oratorical gifts - propelled him to the forefront of the Irish fight for independence from Britain and the subsequent treaty negotiations.
