Assassination The Death of Sir Henry Wilson + the Tragedy of Ireland

Description: Assassination. The Death of Sir Henry Wilson and the Tragedy of Ireland- - - By Rex Taylor. Published by Hutchinson of London in 1961. “On 22nd June 1922 Field Marshall Sir Henry Wilton, Chief of the Imperial Staff, was shot dead on the steps of his London home by two members of the Irish Republican Army. Wilton was one of the most hated figures in the Catholic South. He was also a great soldier and statesman, and national hero to the English. His assassination increased the strain of Anglo-Irish relations to the breaking point. In this account of his death and of the subsequent trial and execution of the two men held responsible for it, Rex Taylor has vividly re-created one of the most dramatic episodes in modern British history. With his widely acclaimed biography of Michael Collins the author has already shown a remarkable understanding of the complexities of Anglo-Irish history. In ‘Assassination’ he has produced another brilliant study of a time of great drama and distress”. Published by Hutchinson of London in 1961.Hardcover, 5.5x8.5, 224 pages, black & white illustrations, dust jacket. Jacket with wear and stains on the back flap, the back cover of the book also has some light stains.
