The incredible true story of the librarian, the Nazi spy and
Ireland's secret role in turning the tide of World War II When
unassuming librarian Richard Hayes, a gifted polymath and
cryptographer, was drafted by Irish intelligence services to track
the movements of a prolific Nazi spy, Hermann Goertz, Dublin became
the unlikely venue for one of the most thrilling episodes in Irish
history. In a complex game of cat-and-mouse that would wind its way
through the city and its suburbs, Code Breaker reveals how Richard
Hayes cracked a code that helped turn the tide of World War II, and
uncovers a secret history of the capital that has remained hidden
in plain view for the past 70 years.
Ireland's Secret War is a thrilling account of the true extent of
Irish-Allied co-operation during World War II. It reveals strategic
Nazi intentions for Ireland and the real role of leading government
figures of the time, placing Dan Bryan and G2 firmly at the centre
of Ireland's battle against Nazi Germany. With the help of over
thirty-five hours of previously unpublished audio recordings that
were held in storage in northern California for over fifty years,
Marc McMenamin reveals the extraordinary unheard history of WWII in
Ireland, told from the point of view of the main protagonists.
Written with the verve and energy of a thriller, Ireland's Secret
War reassesses the legacy of the Irish contribution to the Allied
war effort through the voices of those involved at the time.
