Áirithint áit ar An Accidental Villain : Sir Hugh Tudor, Churchill's Enforcer in Revolutionary IrelandAppointed by Winston Churchill to lead Ireland's police force during the Irish War of Independence, Major-General Sir Hugh Tudor traded the glory of the Great War for the shadows of state-sanctioned murder. Tudor left few traces of his time in Ireland. No diary or letters explain his record as commander of the notorious Black and Tans or justify his role in Bloody Sunday, November 21, 1920. And why did a man knighted for his efforts in Ireland leave his family and homeland in 1925, moving across the sea to Newfoundland? Drawing on archives and the personal records of Tudor's contemporaries, acclaimed journalist Linden MacIntyre deftly pieces together the life of a man who went from decorated soldier to a shadowy figure who fled the country he once sought to control.
