{"product_id":"9780143038542","title":"Mick: The Real Michael Collins","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew leaders in history have been as mythologized as Michael Collins. Before his death at 31, he had fought in the Easter Rising, organized the IRA and out-spied British intelligence, negotiated the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and run the first independent government in Ireland. Peter Hart’s groundbreaking biography restores humanity to this mythical figure. Drawing on previously unknown sources, delving into Collins’s pre-revolutionary past, and assessing the methods—and the costs—of his rise to power, \u003ci\u003eMick\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a man of often ruthless ambition, more politician than soldier, whose friendships went no farther than his interests. A work as thrilling as it is authoritative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016076804336,"sku":"9780143038542","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143038542_p0.jpg?v=1763656930","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143038542","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
