    About this ebook

    A true story of horror, bloodshed and courage...

    The Irish Republican Army, supported by many Catholic priests, became involved in murderous attacks and bombings. The Troubles in Northern Ireland exploded into outright armed rebellion.

    A watching world was sickened as acts of depravity played out on their television screens. The conflict soon spilled into England and support for the Republicans spread around the world to countries where the Irish had emigrated or been despatched as convicts.

    The IRA became infected by criminality with money was raised by robbery and extortion. Bombing and shooting innocents in England, and torturing and killing defectors in its own ranks became the norm. Britain sent soldiers to Northern Ireland to stop the excesses by both sides that had killed and injured many thousands. That much is history...

    In 1970, Britain's MI6 thrust into the bloody fray a young former commando, the ideologue Maurice Tansey, born in Britain to Irish Catholic supporters of the Cause. This is the true story of his life-threatening years as Britain’s first and only spy in the Provisional IRA.

    To maintain his cover, he admits he participated in bombings, and murder in association with well-known IRA heavies...

    More killings in Northern Ireland in 2010 prompted Maurice Tansey to risk the telling of his incredible life story to author, historian and former national newspaper editor Michael Tatlow – feeling strongly that the public should no longer be denied his secrets.

    Michael Tatlow

    Difficult circumstances in the wake of his father’s death caused Michael Tatlow to leave school aged fifteen in his native Tasmania, Australia. He earned a living trapping rabbits, snaring kangaroos, and fishing for shark in the Southern Ocean. He was also the state’s surf swimming champion. In rough seas at different beaches, alone Michael saved four people from drowning. At eighteen he became an Australian newspaper reporter, then a journalist correspondent in Britain, the United States, Canada, Vietnam and much of Europe. A year as a feature writer for Sydney’s Sunday Telegraph followed. As a young man, he broke his spine resulting in a year in hospital, during which time Michael twice received the last rites. Fully recovered, he became the Sunday Telegraph’s News Editor and Acting Editor, then the Chief of Staff and Pictorial Editor of the city’s Daily Telegraph. Returning to Tasmania in the 1970s, Michael became head of Australian Broadcasting Corporation Television News and, rated as an historian, began writing books. He is the author of the non-fiction books Bloodhouse (with criminal Darcy Dugan), A Walk in Old Sydney, A Tour of Old Tasmania, A Walk in Old Launceston, A Walk in Old Hobart and recently the fiction crime thriller, Pike’s Pyramid. He lives in Hobart, Tasmania, and has a son and daughter, and six grandchildren.
