About the Author:

Dr James Mackay has had a lifelong interest in Michael Collins. At Glasgow University he majored in Irish history and wrote his Masters's thesis on his boyhood hero. This biography realises a longstanding ambition to do justice to one of the great figures of the century. Widely regarded as the world's greatest authority on the life and works of Robert Burns, Mackay's definitive biography, Burns, won the 1994 Saltire Society Book of the Year award. He is also the author of Vagabond of Verse: A Biography of Robert Service, Brave Heart: William Wallace, Allan Pinkerton: The Eye Who Never Slept and Sounds Out of Silence: A Life of Alexander Graham Bell.
