This monumental historic novel, often described as the "Irish Gone With the Wind", brings to life an entire generation of Irish history. The story opens on the night of the famous Big Wind of 1839, the greatest storm ever recorded in Ireland, and takes the reader through the events of the tumultuous 19th century, including the Great Famine and the land war between the starving Irish peasants and the Anglo-Irish landlords. Based on fifteen years of historical research, skillfully intertwining and romance with exquisitely drawn social detail, The Big Wind is a moving tribute to the era it presents.

When the Irish nationalist Michael Collins signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921, he observed to Lord Birkenhead that he may have signed his own death warrant. In August 1922 that prophecy came true when Collins was ambushed, shot and killed by a compatriot, but his vision and legacy lived on. Tim Pat Coogan's biography presents the life of a man whose idealistic vigor and determination were matched by his political realism and organizational abilities. This is the classic biography of the man who created modern Ireland.
