Mark Bulik’s book chronicles the only IRA attack on US soil, but falls short in providing adequate historical detail. Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing and unconventional read. This fascinating account is accompanied by a photo of Willie Deasy, one of the six IRA men killed due to Patrick ‘Cruxy’ O’Connor’s betrayal, posing with his Cork comrades, including his brother Jerry who identified their bodies. Michael Collins, notorious for his ruthless approach towards spies and informers, once proclaimed that “by their destruction, the very air is made sweeter.” This statement was made after his death squad killed 14 informers during the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1920. The article is written by Andrew Lynch and features a hidden date stamp.
