Excellent insight into a secretive time in Ireland

I’ve always been interested in what happened in Ireland during the “Emergency” or WWII. However there is very little detail published about this period of Irish history. This story goes a long way towards filling in a lot of that gap through the telling of the story of Dan Bryan. Highly recommended!

Fantastic telling of recent Irish History.

As someone who took history in Secondary School in Ireland in the 1970’s - I was shocked to discover how much of our history was kept from us. This book and Codebreaker by the same talented author - Marc Mc Menamin have sparked my interest in searching for more of the historical record of the time that was kept hidden from us!
