The Shadow War
Michael Collins and the Politics of
Violence.
Insurgencies
are as psychological and political as much as military. In the War of
Independence, the Irish needed to remain active for longer than the nerves of
liberal Britain could stand, and they succeeded. Irish governance, rather
than military victory, was always the goal. If success can be defined as doing
more with less, then Michael Collins must be counted as among the great guerrilla
planners of the twentieth century. He understood the limits of what could
be achieved by violence – and when to forgo violence for negotiation.
