English-born lecturer to make case for Collins as Britain’s greatest foe
Gabriel Doherty, from Birmingham and born of Irish parents who emigrated in the 1950s, has been chosen to represent Collins at an all-day speaker’s event at the National Army Museum in London on Saturday.
He will have to make a compelling case in just 40 minutes to convince a live audience that the Big Fella was a greater adversary than four other military leaders: Ataturk, Napoleon, Rommel, and George Washington.
