Last time on HPH, Greg and Chris told you all about the Easter Rising of 1916 in which a group of Irish rebels took and held the city of Dublin in an effort to gain independence from the English. Today we're continuing down that road by talking about the life and times of the Irish hero, Michael Collins. We'll take a look at his rise to power, his use of hit squads, the ridiculously poor English response, and of course his rivalry with the big ole math nerd Eamon De Valera. Grab a drink and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History entitled Michael Collins: They Call Me the Big Fellow.
