Description
Kevin O' Higgins was assassinated in July 1927 at just thirty-five years old. His life and death are marked by intense controversy, particularly over his vocal support for the Free State government's execution policy during the Civil War. Arthur Mathews examines not only O' Higgins' own story but also those of his contemporaries, including Rory O' Connor and Erskine Childers, who shaped the events surrounding him. The book delves into O' Higgins' relationships with women and chronicles the reactions of those who killed him, subjects that have remained largely unexplored until now. The tragic story of Kevin O' Higgins encapsulates the bitter divisions of a time in Irish history that continue to echo today.
