Synopsis
In 1916, Michael Collins returned to Ireland after a decade in London, quickly becoming a key figure in one of history's most passionate revolutions. Playfully known as 'The Big Fellow,' Collins rose to become a revered revolutionary leader. Acclaimed writer Frank O'Connor, who fought in the Irish Civil War himself, traces Collins's life from his return to Dublin until his death on a country road, offering a probing and poetic account of a man whose charisma made his presence felt even when unseen.
