Hobart Bookshop: Days of Fear

Hobart Bookshop

The Hobart Bookshop is pleased to invite you to the launch, by Sue Hickey, of Mike Tatlow’s new book, Days of Fear.

Days of Fear is the horrific true story of Maurice Tansey, Britain’s only spy in the IRA. Narrowly escaping death many times while saving lives with his alerts to MI6, his motivation was to minimise the number of both Catholic and Protestant innocents being killed, injured or anguished by the Troubles. He considers that if London had been less negligent and responded to more of his warnings of imminent atrocities, his life-saving total might have been greatly increased. The Secret Service had simply to telephone the British Army in Belfast and pass on Tansey’s information. Sadly, it seemed to Tansey that MI6 was more preoccupied with its then current game of outwitting the Soviet’s KGB.

You can meet Maurice at the launch.

When: 5.45pm, Tuesday February 3rd
Where: The Hobart Bookshop

Free event, all welcome.
