The Queen v Patrick O'Donnell: The Man who shot the informer James Carey

This book is an incredibly well researched, dispassionate and intelligent analysis of the facts about this little remembered yet staggeringly important event in Irish and international history. At last a definitive and accurate account which unquestionably shall become the ‘go-to’ for the facts of a series of events culminating in the unjust execution of Patrick O’Donnell. For anyone who knows nothing, a little or a lot about the trial and execution of O’Donnell, read this book; simply put, it is the truth of it. Truth and history are rarely so accurately reconciled, particularly in Anglo Irish events.
