A rebel and a traitor : a fugitive, the manhunt and the birth of the IRA
Carroll, Rory2026
Book
'A Rebel and a Traitor' is the story of a rogue imperial consul who sought to forge a new nation in the middle of a war - and the mercurial spy chief who sought to destroy him by any means. The rogue consul was Sir Roger Casement, a decorated diplomat who turned his back on the British empire and instead joined the rising Irish cause at the turn of the 20th century. At the book's centre is the manhunt for Casement led by intelligence officer Reginald 'Blinker' Hall, the legendary British spy chief who pioneered codebreaking, early mass surveillance and media manipulation.
