The men who tried to capture Michael Collins | Jan - Mar 1920 - Episode 19
From the summer of 1919 Michael Collins and the Squad waged a relentless Intelligence War, threatening and killing key members of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Rattled by the attempt to kill the Lord Lieutenant in December, British authorities responded in early 1920 by replacing the head of the Royal Irish Constabulary and putting a new man over G Division. The new head of the Directorate of Intelligence at the Home Office also diverted resources to combating Collins’ intelligence network and for a time these almost proved fatal. Spies, traitors and informers had been at the heart of British policy in dealing with Irish rebellions since 1798. Early 1920 was a major test for the Republican movement, one that previous conspiracies had failed.

Thanks very much for checking out the channel!
First episode of the new year! I had a bit of sore throat recording this, hope it's not too noticeable. If you find this video interesting please share it around, more coming shortly on major events 100 years ago.
Very well produced. It's great to have so many images - of people and places. It works especially well when reading the standard history (such as Michael Foys book 'Michael Collins's Intelligence War: The Struggle Between the British and the IRA 1919-1921') and the first hand accounts of Volunteers such as O'Malley, Breen and Barry.
thank you for putting yourself to the trouble of getting this history out... I willing to bet there is a bit of love of the story that keeps you going
