#OnThisDay 1922 Michael Collins was shot dead in an ambush by Anti-Treaty forces at Béal na Bláth, Cork. “They won’t shoot me in my own county,” said he. While theories abound, we may never know who fired that fatal shot. Ireland had lost a great leader. #Ireland #History

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
