Finally, real evidence about one of Ireland's most talked-about killings that offers answers to some of the most profound questions that haunt the country's politics and history. Who did shoot Michael Collins? Why? What did happen on that August day over one hundred years go? Why did the Government conspire to cover-up and destroy the sensational files on the truth about the Irish leader's killing?

Former Irish T.D, Minister-of-State and Lord Mayor of Dublin Michael Keating provides answers to controversies that have dogged the shooting of Michael Collins - based not on rumour or half-truths, but on years of investigation, on impeccable research, verifiable sources, new and unpublished material, previously unseen illustrations and interviews, first-hand accounts, actual evidential material, contemporary sources - and more.

These pages present often-explosive answers to the many buried and still unanswered questions about the tragic events of that August day in 1922 - and the days immediately before and after it. They point, inescapably, to clear conclusions.

Think! Why is it that the truth about the killing of the iconic and legendary General Michael Collins has never been established, despite his death still being a source of constant controversy more than 100 years after his slaying? Ask yourself why the Government burned the evidence about what happened to the former Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Free State and Chairman of the Provisional Government? Authorities today are still anxious to discover the truth about killings and the 'disappeared' from many decades ago - but have refused to show any interest in holding an Inquiry into the Irish leader's killing. Why?

Michael Collins - the Killing and the Cover-Up argues convincingly that while innocent people have been accused of the Collins killing, the guilty went free.

The assertions in these pages are rooted in verifiable sources and references and present a rational, evidence-based challenge to the conspiracy of silence and cover-up that have characterised the decades of often-hypocritical adulation of one of the founding fathers of the Irish Republic.

The essential fact is that the incontrovertible truth is still waiting to be formally uncovered and established. This book suggests why it can and should be done. Michael Collins, and generations of Irish people, living and dead, deserve nothing less.
