The 13th apostle

On Easter Monday, April 24 1916, the first great revolution of the 20th century began as working-class men and women occupied buildings throughout Dublin, Ireland, including the general post office on O'Connell Street.

Among the commoners in the GPO was a young staff captain of the Irish Volunteers named Michael Collins.

He was joined a day later by a 14-year-old messenger boy, Eoin Kavanagh.

Four days later they would all surrender, but they had struck the match that would burn Great Britain out of Ireland for the first time in 700 years. 'The 13th Apostle' is the reimagined story of how Michael Collins, along with his young acolyte Eoin, transformed Ireland from a colony into a nation.
