Chasing Ghosts: Episode 3 "Michael Collins: The Empire Blinks"

The Irish Rebellion in 1916-1922 is what I characterize as the era of "Peak Guerrilla" in concert with the exploits of TE Lawrence and GEN Paul Emil von Letter-Vorbeck that set the stage for the modern irregular warfare era in the twentieth century. I will examine the exploits of Collins and the curious currents of history on a global basis that come to have great impacts on what appear to be local and regional conflicts and their final resolution.
