Description
The Twelve Apostles by Tim Pat Coogan In 1919, Ireland declared its independence from Britain, sparking a violent guerrilla war between republican and crown forces. At the heart of this conflict was Michael Collins' elite squad, known as the 'Twelve Apostles', who carried out daring assassinations of British agents and undercover police. This book tells the story of Collins' squad and the remarkable intelligence network that supported them, which ultimately helped to bring the British government to the negotiating table. Historian Tim Pat Coogan examines the complex web of espionage and counter-intelligence that shaped the course of Irish history. With meticulous research and a deep understanding of the period, Coogan brings to life the tumultuous world of early 20th-century Ireland, where loyalty, betrayal, and survival were constantly at stake.
