Michael Collins was a pivotal figure in the Irish struggle for
independence and his legacy has resonated ever since. Whilst
Collins' role as a guerrilla leader and intelligence operative is
well documented, his actions as the clandestine Irish government
Minister of Finance have been less studied. The book analyses how
funds were raised and transferred in order that the IRA could
initiate and sustain the military struggle, and lay the financial
foundations of an Irish state. Nicholas Ridley examines the legacy
of these actions by comparing Collins' modus operandi for raising
and transferring clandestine funds to those of more modern groups
engaged in political violence, as well as the laying of foundations
for Irish financial and fiscal regulation.
