Their target: \"Cruxy\" O'Connor, a young Irishman who kept switching sides as revolution swept his country in the wake of World War I. Cruxy's last betrayal dealt a blow to Ireland's struggle for independence: six of his IRA comrades were killed when he told police the location of their safe house. A year later, the IRA gunned him down before a crowd of horrified New Yorkers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased primarily on first-hand accounts, most of them never before published, \u003ci\u003eAmbush at Central Park\u003c\/i\u003e is a cinematic exploration of the enigma of \"Cruxy\" O'Connor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Mark Bulik delved through Irish government archives, newspaper accounts, census data, and unpublished material from the families of the main actors. Together they add to the story of a rebel ambush, a deadly police raid, a dinner laced with poison, a daring prison break, a boatload of tommy guns, an unlikely pair of spies who fall in love, and an assassination plot against the British cabinet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is a forgotten chapter of Irish and New York history: the story of the only officially authorized IRA attack on American soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContains mature themes.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49354093101360,"sku":"BDhdt8","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49354093166896,"sku":"ZEhdt8","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49354093232432,"sku":"ZMhdt8","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hdt8-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780333685","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hdt8","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
