Description
Ambush at Central Park: A True Story of Vengeance and Betrayal in 1920s New York. In 1922, three Irish Republican Army gunmen arrived in New York City with a deadly mission. Their target was "Cruxy" O'Connor, a young man whose betrayal had dealt a significant blow to Ireland's struggle for independence during World War I. The ambush at Central Park West would become one of the most infamous events of its kind on American soil. This book tells the story of Cruxy O'Connor and the events that led up to his murder, drawing on previously unpublished accounts and archival research. Mark Bulik explores the complex web of loyalty, deception, and revenge that surrounded this pivotal moment in Irish history, shedding new light on a fascinating and often overlooked chapter of American-Irish relations.
