Summary

"To Michael Collins the signing of the Treaty between Ireland and Britain in 1921 was a 'stepping stone'. What mattered to Collins was that Ireland be given a chance for independence, a chance for Irish people to govern their own affairs under their own flag. Eamon de Valera called the Treaty 'treason', and subsequently led his followers out of the Dail in protest - an act that precipitated the Civil War." "I Signed My Death Warrant is a study of the controversy surrounding the Treaty. Examining the characters and motivations of the two main Irish protagonists, de Valera and Collins, T. Ryle Dwyer also gives new insights into the views and ideas of the other people involved in the infamous Treaty negotiations - on both sides of the Irish sea."--BOOK JACKET
