Ireland History
A War of Reprisals - Michael Collins vs The Black and Tans.
By late 1920 Ireland had become a grim battleground. A scene of guerrilla warfare between two increasingly ruthless bands of armed men, the Tans and the IRA.
Michael Collins (16 October 1890 – 22 August 1922) was an Irish revolutionary, soldier and politician who was a leading figure in the early-20th century struggle for Irish independence. During the War of Independence he was Director of Intelligence of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and a government minister of the self-declared Irish Republic. He was then Chairman of the Provisional Government of the Irish Free State from January 1922 and commander-in-chief of the National Army from July until his death in an ambush in August 1922, during the Civil War.
