About this listen

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.

Ireland’s Secret War reveals strategic Nazi intentions for Ireland and the real role of leading government figures of the time, placing Dan Bryan and G2—the military intelligence branch of the Irish Defence Forces—at the centre of the country’s battle against Nazi Germany.

With the help of over 35 hours of previously unpublished audio recordings that were held in storage in Northern California for over 50 years, Marc Mc Menamin reveals the extraordinary unheard history of WWII in Ireland, told from the point of view of the main protagonists.

Another piece of the jigsaw, another unsung hero

I am an avid reader of Second World War political and military history, particularly Intelligence, and even more so, those areas as yet untold or overlooked. This is such a book. For obvious reasons to those who know about or islands this story - one of outstanding vision, belief, astuteness and fortitude - this story has remained in the shadows. Mr McMenamin’s curious it’s, own fortitude and access to previously hidden records is the basis of an amazing account of the tightrope journey the Republic of Ireland walked through the SWW, and since. We’ll-balanced, not sticking doggedly to chronology means this well-researched account is easy to listen to (in my case, in just three days, such is the interest). Many elements of SWW are written, revisited and rewritten, this one is a total original. As such, it is an excellent read, which should be read by many, including us British. Thank you Marc. Stuart
