While I love history, anthropology, and criminalistics, I was only vaguely acquainted with Michael Collins before reading Sigerson’s The Assassination of Michael Collins. I decided to give it a read after coming across a blurb. I found the cover a bit chaotic, though. If I had seen a paperback version first, I probably wouldn’t have looked […]
