On April 13th 1922 the war of independence era IRA committed their only murder on US soil when they took revenge on a traitor whose disloyalty had cost 6 members of his old unit their lives.

Author Mark Bulik, who has written the first book on the incident shares with us the story of 4 men from Sundays Well in Cork city and how one of them met their end at the hands of the other 3 outside Central Park in NYC.

Marks book details the incredible level of support that existed in New York for the Irish War of Independence, the gun running priests of NYC, the plot to get 500 tommy guns from America into Michael Collins’ hands and of course, how Patrick “Cruxy” O’ Connor paid the ultimate price for his treachery.
